Burncycle Addict Registered: 09/16/04 Posts: 577	I was bored and sprayed the outside of my tin with some OD Krylon, as well as the matchbox and minature altoids tin inside. Now if I drop it, I'll never find it! Sorry for the poor image quality! Edited by Burncycle (05/26/07 09:20 PM)

Good question... The inside hasn't been painted, so I suspect you could, although I'm sure the heat would damage the paint on the outside. Edited by Burncycle (05/26/07 09:31 PM)
