Shiny plastic stuff... and I can live without 'em for a month, or so.

yes but would take time, can be done within a month though, ive looked up painting plastic, it just needs priming first then the paint wont crack off.
how much coverage we talking? it's hard to gain a timescale without having seen them and i havent gone down the knee brace route yet so dont know how big were talking.
it will be easy once its primed and drawn on, theres some paisley designs on the net along with some stencils too to simplify the process :wink2:

I had some unexpected money come to me, so i went and ordered the 'Dr. House' walking stick. :D I think it's still overpriced, but i can't complain I bought it anyway. I
I went for the 36" one - i'm 1,70m, with a handy boyfriend who will shorten it if needed. Can't wait for it to arrive.
