Just gonna throw the basics at you here...

Ny thins for outlines, ny fats for the fill

move your arm fast, and keep it a decent distance from the wall so it doesnt drip.

and outline first in the fill color, then fill, then outline again in the outline color.

Just practice your can control first. Get some clean controlled lines and then start to do your outlines. Get some new caps too, that will help you to make cleaner lines.

You're dripping because you're using Krylon.

Montana Gold is where it's at.

AMG gave some good tips. Just don't go slow, and don't get too close.

I'd invest in some Rusto before buying Montana, you can rack it easily at the bigger chains. As for caps, just experiment with everything, even stock caps.

if you read some stuff on bombingscience, you'll learn alot.

Also, to stop dripping (without buying montana) flip the can upside down and let some pressure out. this makes it spray slower, which means less paint is coming out at once. but i guarantee theres like 100 other prople asking the same questions you are on bombingscince, so check that out.
