    We had one of these inflatables in the past and the issue with them was they got blown over easy enough or semi blown over and the lights in them were faint and it was hard to make out what it was at night time!

    I had kept most of the metal tins from yonks ago, and this summer I decided to take one of them and spray it completely with a metallic purple aerosol paint I got in Lidl, also yonks ago. I had to give it a few coats, but it turned out lovely! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,770 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Lidl starting to get stocked up!
