ok... i've looked into spray paint.
in my basement i found some "Tremclad Rust Paint, with superior rust protection" in a spray can
and some "Tremclad primer, that inhibits rust" also in a spray can
and i also found some tiny 1/4 oz testors acrylic paints in little bottles.
and seen as i have nothing in the way of a dark navy blue, i think i'll get some of this stuff...
Testors Spray Dark Sea Blue 15042 3 oz
does this sound better?
