| I can't believe I'm asking this but...
...so uh... Has anyone ever bought a can of red metallic spray paint? I can't seem to find one anywhere, trust me this is armory related.
Am I boned? |

| No..really. You CAN get it at most auto parts stores. I've done it before. Talk to some more auto-parts stores, and call some better body shops. The can mix the exact color you want and put it into a spray can for you.
If someone tells you they cannot, just pull a Neinteen and say "LIES!"
Of course, you may want to misspell it. | |

Of course, you may want to misspell it. | I just did, Pep Boys miraculously was able to help me, excellent...
"Yeah we don't have red metallic paint, you might wanna try..."
"LIES!"
"Uh... I can double check, oh here is some, I'm sorry it said Metal Flakes, is that the same?"
"Only my multimeter knows for sure."
Thanks guys! | |

Thanks guys! | Sorry that search was in vain. Guess you'll have to go tagging instead.
Next time I'll ask you for green!

| Thankfully Craig bailed me out, but yeah that Pep Boys paint had no conductivity.... Oh and Craig, I totally can't do green.
Oh and yes I did do that to the pep boys guy, I get punchy when I'm frustrated and for some reason "if it's on the interwebs, it must be a good idea".

I say, come on up to Maine, NH or VT and try to tag something of OURS. You'll get to see what most of us keep tucked under the front seat of our pickup trucks (next to the empties).
OK...I don't really drive a pickup or have empties in my car. And I don't keep my guns concealed in my car anymore. Long story.  | |

| You've never heard of tagging? =o When they tag, it usually means they're leaving some special mark only they use. Like a name, but not their real one. And they put it on all of their graffiti.

| You want conductive?
You might experiment and mix in a powdered metal such as copper or silver. Just don't try to buy powdered aluminum, and be careful of inhalation and ignition hazards. Also you might be able to mix in a conductive silver or copper circuit repair paint and get conductive red paint. http://www.semicro.org/index.asp?Pag...WPROD&ProdID=2
