Hi Dave
You know it does look funny sitting up against the kitchen backsplash like that, strange. I will do a group shot. On the paint Spikes did the work for me, I usually do my own, like on the Oly long gun pictured. When I do it I use the paint sticks from Brownells they are very easy to use and come in several colors, if you have any engraving they will really bring it out.
