Maybe this is a stupid question ... but I've seen people mention spray
painting their magnetics (so you can buy a roll of white and have wuteva
color you want). Do I need to worry about what kind of spray paint
I get? I know there's stuff out there specifically for flexible surfaces,
but seems like I remember that stuff only coming in a select few colors.
Or will the good ol' Krylon from K-mart work? :-)
