/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm an artist, and I have been for as long as I can remember, blah blah blah. I'm sure you've heard it all before, so I'll spare you my life story. Basically, I've become very interested in street art for the last few years, but as I got my life together, gained responsibility, good grades, and the respect of my parents, I realized I have too much to lose if I get caught. So I need help. As much help as I can get. I have questions, and I need some tips.

1. Is there a way to obtain spray paint without it being traced back to you (without stealing it)?

2. What are some good brands? I'm looking for a brand with a metal ball inside, so I can silence it with a strong magnet if need be

3. What are good places in my my city to meet people who might help me? I live in Portland, if that helps.

4. What are some good ways to hide cans?

Thank you, I really appreciate any and all help you can give me here. If you have any other tips, please apply them here, generously.
