Spray Paint Issues, Vol. 2
I've been painting this funky old table we've had around the house for at least a dozen years:
I had planned on painting 20+ coats. I got tired of that action after about 12 coats. I needed some polyurethane and decided to use spray (like I said, I was tired of the project).
I went to Miller Paints, knowing I'd probably find the polyurethane with the spray paint, and sure enough...
... I had to show my ID and sign my name and they logged my info into a book: Grafitti Materials Catalog was on the cover. The woman who sold it to me was well aware of the irony -- that to "prevent" grafitti in my community I had to register my purchase of INVISIBLE-colored paint.
And even funnier -- Miller Paints has the practice of carrying your purchases to your vehicle, no matter what. It's nice, but when it's a single can of spray polyurethane, it's a little silly.
