Darting in and out of the trees, it was a valuable way of learning better coordination.

Part of their military training was, in the early days, based on dodging paintball shots. Anyone coming out of the woods with blotches of color on their uniform was considered to have failed that exercise.

But when they sprayed paint in the workshop a few kilometres away, there was a different purpose and the paint was not only meant to hit its target, it had to.

The cars came out gleaming, either restored to their previous glory, or when the color had changed, with a new identity.

Paint is not often seen as having so many purposes….the preparation for war and the restoration of pride in the driveway, being just two of so many more.
