The finished product, back together and hanging in the front room. I gave it 3 days on the backburner for the paint to properly cure. I'm happy...
The Plastikote Strawflower might give you that shade of colour or slightly paler if that's what you want? For me, given these lamps are...
Tbh, I tried a test area of the Strawflower and thought it was a little dull, so I then went with the Sun Yellow. The tank I have was already...

Charlatans. But equally, they might as well ask a $million - nobody worth their salt will pay it...
It's perfect timing, because I'm about to do precisely that, on exactly the same fount. I reckon I'm going to use Rustoleum Strawflower spray...
Nope, defo not! Now on a similar, yet inverted note, does anyone have a reasonable paint match code/colour for that 'mustard'? yellow on the BR 49...

Something I forgot to say, after reading about testing manometers with a butane lighter refill. I did this and noted my gauge was reading bang on...
Cheers Jeff :thumbup:
Quote MYN: 'Well done. I suppose you have already tested for leaks?' Yap, all done. The Rapid was leaking out of the top nipple that screws over...
Fettled and sorted, with seals and a new Rapid from Base Camp. I used copper slip on the jet and nozzle threads, as recommended by Mackburner,...
I now understand '0724', is week 7, 1962, 4th day of week.

Not the best pic, but it's grim and dull outside, so a quick snap of the contrasting colours. On the left, newest addition in Metallic Brass,...
@Sedgman I've got two of those, one I picked up in mid-2018 and this one here a couple of weeks back. I've just this second finished restoring...
Speculum too, with the better loop handle. Guardsman's are my favourite go-to lantern if I'm honest - so simple and far more reliable than the B's...
