A L E R T !!!

Well I don't have an airbrush so I use rattle cans to spray white interiors. I had just finished my latest build and was about to spray my dullcoat when I noticed I had accidentally switched the white and dullcoat caps on the wrong rattle can. Almost ended up with a white UN tank instead. Only a few nanoseconds from disaster

The first thing I do is pitch the caps, and look at the paint globbed up around the spray nozzel.

Thank God I only use dull- coat out of a spray can. The only other spray can color I have is a semi-gloss black and that can is in a box under the table as I only used it once a year or so ago
