Hi Ali,

If you're talking about rattle-can painting, I can believe that.

But there's painting using professional spray gear, as well as 
powder-coating.  Rattle-can was never intended as anything but an "any 
idiot can do it" proposition.

If that weren't the case, we'd all be painting our cars using a spray can.

Regardless, if I read the conservation lists correctly, plastic is 
eventually doomed.  No one seems to know how to stabilize it.

I recall an Apple color monitor that sat on a table and, without being 
powered on or otherwise disturbed, would shed a bit of itself every now 
and then...

Just my own .02,
Chuck
