 (Anonymous Says:) Well lemme no bcuz isn't 50/50 of Garvey and white smash u think instead of smash I food use soultippaint??(apreply) Hey homie(and this goes to the rest of you). anything works if you know what you are doing ok. Sure you can probably do it. but you would have to thin it down like crazy. but if thats all you have then use it.
