Thanks for the compliments everyone, I guess I have a couple questions to answer. Dean the painter had total control on color and graphics. The logo's are custom made then clear coated over several times so it's hard to tell they are decals. The lid is stainless and was purchased from Funtronics,  I peeled the protective plastic off it a few minutes before taking the pics and didn't even wipe the lid down. The best part of this is my wife has picked out a place in the kitchen for it so it will be moving in tomorrow when my son is home to help me move it.

Very, very nice Ken! Looks incredible. Also, I can't believe the wife let you have it in the kitchen. I haven't been able to get one in the house yet.
