I contacted the guy I know at the spray shop couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately they are shut for 2-3 months to move premises. I have had a can of black Plasti Dip sat in a cupboard for a while and last night decided to take the plunge. Figure it will allow us to see how good black forks look and can always peel it off. I have a pretty shoddy record when it comes to painting things, but Plasti Dip behaves differently to paint in that it doesn't really run. Quite pleased with the result.
Word of warning: Plasti Dip doesn't behave like paint in several ways. Despite creating a bit of a 'backdrop' to paint against, somehow our whole (white) kitchen got a thin layer of Plasti Dip over it, which got me into a lot of trouble and took a while to clean up (it just rubs off). Really not sure how it got to areas several metres away in the opposite direction to spraying...
