In Response To: eBay paint (Ross Leidy)

Ross, You might want to really check this paint out before you use it. When I was in the military, we used this two part paint called CARC paint. It is the paint used to scatter radar. It is also highly dangerous. It causes cancer and other respritory problems. It could only be applied while wearing full enviromental suits with fresh air supplies. It soaks through the skin instantly. If the paint you bought turns out to be this, I would suggest getting rid of it. On the other hand, you could paint your car with it and get to the lake even faster without the worry of a ticket. Just wanted to let you know.
