Ok, I will consider the "1 €" place.

One time I was looking for red polish and blue polish in Amazon. Found 
them, but not cheap, so I desisted, also because it was not durable. I 
wanted to paint a kitchen tap cold and hot water sides, which have 
reversed marks (Germans do it in reverse than Spaniards, and the tap 
(Grohe) is German).
