yeah rust-oleum is some fatty shit, or automotive spray paint is pretty good too, but you can pick up jus a generic can os spray paint at wall mart for like 94 cents or sumthin like that- its a sick way to set yourself apart, and really sho your support for companies, instead of just havin gramma buy you there shit for christmas or sumthin, as far as washing, i always wash mine alone the first time, but after that your clear for the most part.
