On the bench: Coleman Air O Gas starts getting paint 

What we're doing here is the prep work to be able to paint the top of the stove. I go through my prep steps, and painting so we can end up with a stabilized end product. This stove was never going to be a beauty queen, but we can stop it from getting any worse. Sure it's going to have a finish that won't be factory smooth, BUT it will be stable for a very long time to come.
