What would you do with a gallon of ugly pink paint?

I just bought it, so I don't really want to just toss it.

I bought some paint to paint my floor, thought I was getting a slightly pink tinged red. Nope, on my floor, it looks pepto bismul meets hot pink. Bad bad bad! If I mix it with black, paint it on, and add fake mortar lines, it looks like brick. That was my plan. Then I decided to go a whole other way with the floor. So now I have ugly pink paint, and nowhere to paint it.

What would you do with a gallon of this stuff?

Any place that might need a donation of paint (might be tax deductible)? You might be able to take it back to the paint store and have it tinted with another color to use on something else.

If you're going to paint the walls you can use it as a primer/first coat. Or, yeah, have it tinted something much darker.

Round here we can donate to Habitat for Humanity, or used to be able to anyway, I think they might have changed that. That could be appropriate for a girl's room, so I'm sure someone can use it. What about Freecycle?

Uh...a Bentley for Paris Hilton?



And yes, that's what it really is, and who it really belongs to.

Due to my curious nature, I'd keep it and conduct lots of color experiments where I'd stir in other colors just to see the resulting new color! My first experiment would be: Put some of it in a plastic bowl, then stir in red and dark gray "just to see"
Oh, that Paris Hilton's a real card.

That would probably be me, or anybody else who owns a cat.
