Jockbolt,

I ordered the paint in a spraycan from Acme Cartoon Supply, I saw it used once in a Bugs Bunny episode. wink

On another BB I'm on a member thought I painted them that way. I wonder how long that would take.

Hey Tim... If you go to your local FLAPS it's right up on the shelf beside the sparks for your grinder,bubbles for spirit levels and left handed screwdrivers! wink
