Anyone paint their Blitz cans? I would like to get some but was thinking about painting or bedlining them. Any suggestions?

I would suggest the plastic formula spray paints. I've used them on a lot of different plastics and they seem to hold up pretty well. The problem with gas cans is you're always spilling gas on them so the paint is sure to loosen up pretty quick, but hey, it's a gas can. The only real worry is technically a gas can has to be red but I really doubt you'll ever catch any flak for it.

Have to look into local laws to see if they must be red. Wanted to paint them camo or something cool.

As best I can determine, it's a voluntary standard:

ASTM F852, Standard Specification for Portable Gasoline Containers for Consumer Use:
ASTM F976, Standard Specification for Portable Kerosene and Diesel Containers for Consumer Use:
Now, being a voluntary standard does not mean that states and localities haven't passed laws to implement it. But, the American Society for Testing and Materials is an organization that creates and sells (in written form) voluntary standards for industry and governments to implement.

I also agree with the assessment that you're unlikely to be stopped for having an incorrectly colored jerry can. However, you may run into gas stations where they'll stop you from filling a gas can that is anything but red.
