If you’ve read Glitter Gold, a short story on this site, you’ll see the relevance immediately (and if not, consider clicking that link above for two free short stories):
Experts say gold and silver spray paints are preferred by “huffers.” They say the propellants in the cans for those color are stronger. ^

You may know that Owen Plant is featured in this site which, despite massively low readership, attempts to give those of you that do read the skinny on what’s interesting or at least fun. Owen qualifies in both categories.
