Lol. Honestly, when you first said orange, the first thing that shot through my head was "An orange cannon? That will look stupid, what fruit loop thought that up?"
But I must say, that looks pretty slick! I guess your long term artistic perspective is much better than mine.... :cry:

i had thought it would come out darker, but i like how it came out anyway, i was planning on using it on my clear combustion i'm building, but i opted for a dark blue instead, i just need a color for my 6" combustion.....maybe red?

you have a nice cannon. I found if you want a good grip, take a tee, and cut the top out, this works ver well. see TATER WAYNES, cannon and I will give you a good idea. wg
