Plastic spray primer is your best bet, followed by your choice of metallic or wood-tone paint. I'm very curious to see if the paint would affect the assembly, though, so if you give it a try please let me know how it goes!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-27726828532475563362017-03-01T11:37:39.089-05:002017-03-01T11:37:39.089-05:00You have an awesome friend in Sharyn.

(And, of course, order way more from them than I really should.)<br /><br />I got a similar kit for a solar-powered marble maze.

"Shout" by Tears for Fears is my go to.<br /><br />There was also a study a while back that the surest way to get rid of an earworm is to sing it to completion. It gets stuck in your head because your brain logs it as an incomplete task, and keeps returning to it. So look it up on YouTube and karaoke it until it goes away (or your family does).Marshall Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647111558095583028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-67692702210849125702017-03-01T05:17:54.845-05:002017-03-01T05:17:54.845-05:00I useta work with a Cuban lady.
