Thanks for the complements guys.

Actually didn't use paint on the barrel. Stopped by Kinko's and picked up some red, white, and blue sign vinyl like they use to letter autos. It's cut and stick from there. The best part about vinyl is that if and when you do get tired of the colors all that is necessary is for you to break out the wife's hair dryer and it comes off easily.

I think I'm also going to do the magnetic propane holder in the same scheme of things.

Here's an updated picture since we added matching graphics to the magnetic propane bottle holder.

Yes, it's a hoot to shoot.....
