No cans of spray paint?  that would be the easiest, that and a cardboard
template, spary lightly.  That is what the Geo-Hex ones seem to be.
Mine came yesterday, when I first saw it I thought "yuck".  Then I took
it out of the bag and laid it on the floor and it's beautiful.	Kind
of like my paintjobs, hold them close and they look horrible,  hold them
at arms length and they look wonderful, well, passable anyway. 
(Fortunately
none of my opponents are on this list.)
