Around here it is locked behind metal bars at Home Depot and you have to get a clerk to unlock it.Judas Maccabeus wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 8:07 pmI BUY spray paint in an area with a major graffiti problem.

We're not there yet.

I think it is local ordinance that requires it. Not something that Home Depot and other hardware stores are doing voluntarily.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 6:11 amWe're not there yet.

I'd be happy if they just banned spray paint nationwide. The convenience it provides doesn't outweigh the enormous cost of cleaning up graffiti across the country. There are other ways to apply paint including spray guns that work much better anyway.

I'm no graffiti artist, but couldn't graffiti be done with a paintbrush almost as easily?

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
No, because you'd have to walk around with open cans of paint. Instead of a backpack full of spray paint cans.
I mean theoretically you could paint brush up something. But there is a whole air brushing aesthetic achieved with spray that would be completely lost with brushes. People aren't going to be climbing around on the sides of buildings or bridges/overpasses with open cans of paint.
