Cool thanks Yannick. I thought about the possibility of clogging up the jets when I was considering the paint. I figure sticking pins in each of the holes while painting should keep paint out of them. Maybe drilling them out again after the paint cures just to make sure.
You're right, the paint won't be easy, but I'm pretty good at patience and typically put several (like 5 or 6 or more) thin coats on similar projects where the normal person (and manufacturer usually recommends) 2 to 3 coats. Should turn out ok. May not end up perfectly even, but close, and if it lasts just a few times instead of forever that'll be fine by me. After all, it's a soda can that was destined for the trash anyway :)
Thanks for the link to the anodizing technique. I haven't done anything like that since college. I doubt I would take it that far, but that would definitely give it one kick ass finish.
