So it's a surprising amount of work to strip and repaint a stove case, but the Rustoleum Hunter Green is a pretty good match.
Interestingly, the Coleman paint it pretty hard, and any spray bomb paint will not hold up as well.
I think you should paint it the color of your truck.

then you're done. Just blast it w/a coat of clear and wet sand it...

Depends on the grade of paint you buy, the condition of the surface you apply it to, and the atmospheric conditions when you paint it and during the drying time. I don't know about the napa paints, but the place where I bought my fenders from would fill those custom spray cans with almost any of the automotive paints they sold.

Remove burners and have it zinc dipped? ($$)
Have heard good about high heat paint that is baked in oven ($)
Rustoleum Dark Hunter Green Spray Paint ($) (I have pics if you want to see)
Powder Coat ($$$)
So the Sefaudi leathers are still unavailable in eBay. Any other ways to score his?
Anyone tried these?

I recently got some of the Japanese leathers on Ebay, and they are very well made and nice fit.

My local Coleman parts supplier has the OE Coleman leathers (part# 216-5091) for a couple bucks each. Any reason to hold out for the Japan or Sefaudi?
got the plunger soaking in oil. the 413 that came with it has considerably more miles of usage on it. the plunger has a rubber on it and there are no date stamps on the tank tabs..it's a 413F...pics to follow...
I think I'm going to go for one of these next...not that I'd ever have a need for one...
Thought I would share my Lantern connection with you guys, Steve does a great job and is dirt cheap I think.

I don't know... it would be nice to be able to iron your clothes on the trail.
heck I don't iron my-clothes?
I think there is one like in the first pic of your link in my old mans garage still. The MilSPec lantern...The old guy just told me yesterday that I should go thru the garage and get any tools I might use. He's been holding onto my grandpas old tools for 2 decades now. I hope to put many of them to good use after their long break. I've been holding off to get alot of these cause the new stuff is just ju nk...as hard as getting old can be, it does has its perks.
Do you guys pre-oil your new leathers?
My guess would be yes...the pros will be along shortly, I'm sure...
