Painting My Kettlebell

I've been looking at painting my kettlebell for a while. I got 3 more kettlebells for xmas so now I have a set of 35 pounds and a set of 53 pounds. Now I want to paint each pair in a different color scheme. It will be easier to differentiate them and will make them more aesthetically pleasing to look at. My initial thought was because they kick my ass so much I wanted to go with a "punisher" theme. I'm not a comic book junkie, but I did like the movie. So I found a Punisher skull picture online and printed it out, laid vinyl tape over the front and back of the logo, and then cut it out with an exacto knife. So that gives me a stencil to paint the logo on. That is as far as I have gotten. I need to get supplies before I go any further. I'm planning on painting the 53s red with the white Punisher logo. As for the 35s I have not figured out what I want to do with them yet. I have a few ideas but nothing that is really standing out at the moment. I'm leaning towards a camo pattern, but not sure due to the complexity. I'm hoping to get the 53s done this weekend. I'll post pics once I have them all done.
