Very cool. Clever and creative recycling of a nuisance waste product you'd think would have no use whatsoever.

Real interesting. Imagine making a chess set of of those..

Interesting, but only a bit for me.

A couple of years ago, I forget what magazine it was but I think it was "Old Skool Rodz", Had an article in the new product section that had jewelry made out of paint droppings from some of the old paint lines. I think they were calling it Fordite or somthing like that.

I was skipping through it, and I thought that's what he WAS doing until the end.

Yes, I remember seeing that too. Pretty neat stuff and the possibilities are endless  (well almost ) . I can imagine that you could probably make quite a bit of stuff out of it. Thanks for posting this. Good stuff.     Jeff

I think that would make great window crank knobs and any sort of dash knobs in a hot rod. Even a shifter knob if you can find a piece large enough. Seems like the stuff would be pretty strong. I dig it.

I have turned some bottle stoppers out of paint.Friend of mine owns a body shop and pours unused and mismixed paint into dixie cups for me.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but you can always use drippings from surfboards too.  My dad made a chessboard with colored and alternating white tiles. Hopefully the link works.

I'm trying not to add a pic from my computer anymore, but photobucket is not cooperating with me.

Fordite it is. It's long been used in craft work, jewelry and such. My grandfather had it around and he had a Zippo lighter covered in it.
