Very nice John.
What model and year is the stove? Is the stove a Canadian model?

Hey John, I posted my matched set today as well, although the only thing I remember at 4am was telling to 15 yr old it was time to get off the xbox and get to bed!

Yes it is! I am now upgrading the rear galley as it was plain 2 shelf deal. Should be ready for camping in a couple of weeks.

Paint

Postby PresTx82 » Thu Apr 16, 2009 11:53 am

John,

What color paint did you use for the gas tank. It has a purple/pink tint to it? It could be a reflection from the red paint.

I'm going to run out this morning to pick up some paint for mine, and I wanted the best "closest" color to the original. Forest Green of course for the case and high temperture silver for the inside pieces, but I haven't read on the forum what closely resembles the round copper color gas tank.

Are most of you buying ther rustoleum product?
