Well as I was reading this thread, my son came over and asked me to make him the Shark Repellent can. So count me in for 2-3 sets on any runs for the lettering please. :lol
I'd bet this is either the original label for the can just painted over. Or residue from same.
I managed to find a vinyl cutter today so I will have cut letters in a few days.
No,that is most likely to be a label that was made with the letters already silk-screened onto it,then applied to the can. This would explain why the can is a little darker than the label itself. Maybe this was matched by eye,then painted over,and silkscreened over it! I agree that these look like easy cheese brand cans,but the caps of today are different now. WD-40 would be your best bet shape-wise,but obviously not colour-wise! Maybe furniture spray cans?
Why would an extremely low budget movie spend several hundred dollars on on silk screening a goofy throw away gag prop, when they could have just used $20 vinyl letters?
Keep in mind that only when it's hanging on Robin's belt does it have the darker bands. It's flawless in the detailed closeups. My personal guess would be that it's just clear tape holding on the hook that allows it to hang on the belt.
Did anyone ID the color of the cans? Is there a rattlecan substitute that's close?
...whos to say that they didn't have a silkscreening machine in use all the time?! The close up pics are what I was referring to - the labels are obvious!
