David, you did a great job on this... I really like the white/gold scheme. I'm contemplating getting one myself, but not sure what colors to use...

Thank you!

My original thought was a royal purple with big gold stripes on it. If I ever get the big searchlight I may consider it. Or just paint the big on the same as my small one and that way I could have a matching set ;)
