Huffing and Grafitti both are really bad problems here so they have paint on mega-lockdown lol. In most places, they check your ID before they even unlock the cage where the paint is kept.

Although it is interesting to note that I get carded on a regular basis when I buy glue or paint for my models, yet I can go back to the SAME store and buy beer and not even looked at twice.

Does that make any sense?
