Can You Actually Paint A Room Using Explosives? | MythBusters

MythBusters — S11 E9 "Painting with Explosives/Bifurcated Boat" — Aired June 26, 2013 Seven years after their first attempt left paint splattered on nearby walls but nowhere near a finished room, Adam and Jamie came back to the painting with explosives myth separately, each developing their own competing approach — Jamie engineering a precision spherical paint bomb with shaped nozzles designed to atomize paint evenly outward in all directions, while Adam conducted small-scale C-4 tests at a bomb range using a heavy metal plate to direct explosive energy toward the walls, eventually abandoning the original premise entirely and building a six-canvas art installation designed to produce simultaneous explosion-painted artworks, and the results of both approaches produced two of the most visually spectacular detonations in the show's history even if the practical decorating question remained stubbornly unanswered.
