Eh Jiff, make with the macro`s :lol:

I also use this rebuilding stuff & gardening to practice taking pictures, your going to take hundreds of shots so why not use it as practice session (Patrick excluded) bouncing speed light/flash off a white ceiling can give amazing results, same with fish eye & wide angle lenses.

I only use a 5mp camera for my posts you see, but i also use a tripod 80% of the time.

You cannot send air spray paint in the mail (dangerous goods) well you can if you pay the danger money.

Thanks Geoff. We have a company that specialises in spray can paint, so I'll see if they have an equivalent.
