[QUOTE="wojtekpastuch, post: 44981, member: 560"] I think the painted Dunhills are covered with chinese lacquer and then painted with a technique called "maki-e". The same thing is sometimes done on fountain pens (Pilot), lighters (Dupont) and other accessories. It looks very nice but what worries me is the resistance of the chinese lacquer to heat... Also I'm not sure if such a pipe would smoke very well since the coating is probably very impermeable so it would take a very long time to dry and it might get very hot... Or maybe I'm wrong :P The space shuttle is really cool though, the small pipe should be connected to the large mouthpiece so one could smoke them both at a time... 8) [/QUOTE]
