    I have a working Coleman 335 which I picked up for the grand total of £1 (!)
    The tank is nickel plated and has some lightish pitting which won't polish out
    I was thinking of priming and respraying the tank in a suitable coleman green to make it look a little better as the rest of the assembly is pretty good.
    Is there a good match for Coleman Green or colour code I can refer to? (Nearest I've got at the moment is British Racing Green!) :)

    Coleman have used a few shades of mid to dark green on their founts over the years. Rustoleum Hunter Green is a very good match for the later models like the 214. The 335 would have been a slightly lighter shade than that. But the 335 is a fairly common model and many owners have customized them with different colours and designs. You need not feel yourself bound to replicate the original colour!

    Thanks for the reply
    I'll have a nose at our local car parts shop to see what paints they have, otherwise it will be a Canadian Coleman in British colours! :)
