Some nice colour schemes, especially those from the FEAF team, which

I have a steel shaft which fits into an aluminium pulley.  The two are
keyed together.  In the past someone has used it without a key and
completely buggered up the inside of the aluminium pulley.  I have a
replacement for the inner steel piece, but need to use the original

My father in Law was a member of the USS Lexington CV-16 crew from 1943-45.

I'm thinking of painting a helmet (a real one) with spray cans.
Do you think I could do without a primer? (I'm afraid of damaging the
fiber-glass shell, using a non-acrylic-based primer)
How can I prevent cracks from appearing after a while?

The AP has been carrying this story in several papers this week.
Apparently, no one has ever studied the effects of different high and low
tech weapons on a supercarrier.  According to the article, they are going to
