Not color correct....and I dont care!!!!!

[doug hodder]

So I was painting the wheels for the new project the other day and I had about a cup of leftover paint to shoot.....what to spray...what to spray?...Hey...I had a 1948 425 in primer all ready to go. I guess it's now the stove for the new trailer. I don't have the tank done, it's going to be in a white, and I'm not shooting any white for a while so I don't have it there to show, but check out the gloss on it and there are lots of wrinkles in the sheet metal! It is certainly "over-restored" and in completely the wrong color, but so what?...There are lots of them around and it's not all that straight anyway. It was a 5$ stove. I'm sure the hard core Coleman crowd would hang me....oh well...it's "electric teal" now! Doug

I think that just may be it Kevin....thanks for letting me "count it down with you" it was a fun conversation! "yer in the Army now!" Doug

Ya know, as I look at that picture I can see the brown overspray on the sticker and tank. Looks like a makeshift camo job.

Doug:
I think the stove looks great! You sure won't have any trouble finding it in the dark.
I can't wait to see the trailer it's going to be paired with.
Nice job.

Doug,
I think it looks great. There is nothing wrong with personalizing your equipment. I bet that half the board would want to personalized stoves and latterns of their own.

Guess I,m not color correct, it looks blue to me, what is a teal anyway?? Jim G

[hotrod]

I think old man coleman would think its friggin awesome that some folks are using his stuff and having fun with it! It was made to use and Im sure they will make more!!

[doug hodder]

Plan is to get a black ventilator and then paint up a 220 to match as well. It does look blue Jim....it's a tough color to show on a computer monitor, it's actually called bright aqua, and a teal is a duck! Doug
