I mentioned to hubby sometime ago that I would like for us to remarry (I just loved the whole shebang :wub: )
and he says ''you dislike me that much?'' :P

Can you alter a baby's formula milk can, or does the outer surface have too much shine? :unsure:

[SunDrop]

No reason why you couldn't Heather. I mainly use papers to cover my tins, as the lid isn't a problem (sits on the top, rather than over the sides) but have used acrylic paints too. I paint straight onto the surface and do 2 coats to avoid a patchy look, but you could prime the surface with a metal primer, I suppose.

Of course, you don't have the advantage of the fun you can have with the larger handled paint tins :)
