    A custom paint scheme would make sure everybody would remember you.

    People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

      Hahahaha.....That's pretty funny!!

      I have a few, some are original, others are black, and one is RED with a White cross on the 2 large sides. Yes, it's a First Aid box.

          The duck one is awesome

          I painted one gloss white and then fluorscent pink. I them printed out charlies angles pictures and glued them to the ammo can and repainted with a semi gloss clear coat

          I gave it to my sister filled with 1,000 rounds of ammo for christmas as she had just purchased her first pistol.

          I spray all of my new cans with brake clean and then paint the inside with semi gloss white

          It makes findin stuff in them easier and seems to eliminate the residual oder from the used cans
          Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

          Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

          Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

          Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

            I leave mine as they are. They are your cans so do what you want. I do have one that is red as that is the way I found it. Maybe if I get bored I will paint some of mine sometime.

              I have a few WWII vintage cans that I carefully removed the rust from and then covered with clear matte spray paint. The ones I use to store ammo are labelled with a label maker. I have not felt the need to paint the cans.

                Dude...turn in your MAN card. Can you honestly not make this decision on your own?

                Sorry. I have to work tomorrow and I'm cranky.
