You pay $20 for an explosive device and they give you $15 after the bomb
squad takes it from your house. Great deal.

Hmmm... I just painted a new cat back exhaust system the other day with
Dupli-Color's "High Heat" primer and finish coat canned spray paint. It
says to 1200º, not 2000º. I noticed no difference between it and other
spray paint.
