Hello All Juwel 33 lovers! One of mine Juwel 33 box are (I think) in need for new paint. I am looking for the right color and even color code. There are just a few spot where the original color still remain on mine. See my atached photos. It is the model with strap on the box. Thank's in advance! Skauvill
A close match may be found at a store that sells aerosol paint for cars. If you want a match a car bodyshop may be able to get you a code but with age it may have faded so not be anymore accurate than a shop bought aerosol.
@Spiritburner Thank you for this feedback! I have rubbed the spot where paint still remain. Will try to find paint from aerosol. If I did'nt find the color, I might end up with scanning the spots for making a code. Have tried that before, with luck, and also unluck Skauvill
1941 stamp with a Waffenamptpruf [eagle] would naturally have been painted Olivgreun. [Sorry no Umlauts in my font]. I know you can get that exact color in hobby paints for WWII Armor plastic kits. Finding it in a high temperature Stove Paint may be problematic.
@SveaSizzler Thank you for your kind feedback. Yes I have seen topics at ccs confirm what you say, but on mine the spots left looks like a mix "grey/blue/dark green. I MIGHT END UP WITH RAL 6014 yellow oliwe from powercoat 3i1, modern color I am not quite sure it's the right, there are several olivegreen on the us marked. But we did'nt have those in Norway. Thats why I hope for an old code, well nowing it's optimistic. I will try to scan the spots, whos left on mine before I deside Skauvill
The German Army used a few different colors on equipment. Stoves included. My own Arara 37 is that Wehrmacht Olivgrun. Panzer Grau, Feldgrau might be another. I've heard of Desert Yellow on some DAK equipment, also Southern Russia and Greece [Wustengelb?]. The Luftwaffe painted the camp stoves included in aircraft survival kits in light metallic blue [like Optimus 8Rs and 111s] or Silver. I would not be surprized if mountain troops painted some white for camouflage -- although finding your cold stove in camp after a blizzard could be an issue. It's your stove. Get creative if you like.
@SveaSizzler During the last couple of ours I have done several seek at the web, and you are right, they used several colors. And sure I could pick one, and it would be right for the period in german millitary. I have learned new consep's lige aged feldgrau and aged apfel grene. I also find some RAL-codes that I had to look into, and compare with the left color spots on mine. The RAL-codes are 6006, 7028, 7027 And 7016. Let' see whats happens, really like to find the color used at mine. Thank's again! I'l be back! Skauvill
Okay, I am back after finish the process finding right color to my Juwel 33 On the web there is a lot of information regarded to German wermacht from 135-1945, but nearly all information I coukd find are about uniforms, wehikles and helmets. A lot of colors was used. After I decided to use scanning of whats left on mine, I have found this german text; Diese Kocher waren in Wehrmachtsgrün lackiert. They are talking about color used on millitary stoves during the ww2. Maybe to late for me to use this color on mine now. I have for now, ended the restoration an given it the color two different scannes told me. Its nearby zalsgrau/planegrau/feldgrau So look at the new photos, here's the resault.
Well, I looked on the color chart but their Apple Gray looks too much like Panzer Grey, or Feldgrau. Maybe I was thinking of Apple Green? Anyway if you're happy with that color, that's great. Your stove. I might've been tempted to paint it Desert Yellow, like the Afrika Korps stuff. Wurstengelb. My own Arara 37 is that dark olive. [Olivgrun.] It's painted on good. The spindle won't rurn at all, and I don't want to force it. So it's a shelf curio for the time being.
@SveaSizzler I think the link is trying to show apple green. It sertanly not look like todays applegreen, I agree with you on that. That i why I dont used it. At my text connected to new photos, you seen it paintet with a color called tarpaulin grey, that's the color 2 different scanner tol me to use. I very much like it to be simular to the original, but its not easy after 85 years or so. The paint job could always been done again Skauvill
@Pharael Thank you! I should have done that, but I have'nt any equipment specially for job's like that. The equipment in our kithcen are forbidden area. So I will have to wait some mont's before lighting it up into the box, hope for the best, and eventually do the paintjob again. And anyway I will not use it on regular base .
Years ago, when my Mom got a new oven, I persuaded the appliance men not to take the old Hotpoint range away. I rigged some 220 VAC cables and connectors to the oven. I used it to bake-on to a pair of 350 V8 Headers, a ceramic coating from Eastwood that was applied by airbrush. 500*F for 2 hours. Worked great. Still have the old range.
@SveaSizzler , it seems a little bit to tecnical for me! I am looking for an oven made for dormitoris (Smal flats). Think I could install it in my garage Skauvill
@Skauvill I was talking about Exhaust Headers: high performance pipes that replace stock cast iron exhaust manifolds. They were then mounted on the 350 Cubic Inch [5.7L] V8 Engine in my '71 GMC Jimmy 4x4 truck. Jet Coat and other hi-performance vendors offer to ceramic coat your [provided] headers for ~$400 USD. I spent $100 USD on 2 cans of black airbrushed-on ceramic coating that I had to bake on myself. The oven was free. I saved it from being recycled or sold by the appliance men who brought my Mom's new glass-top range. The old one still worked fine. I baked the headers in the back yard. The smoke and fumes were nasty, but I stayed upwind. If I had a small camp stove to bake on a ceramic coating, I could still do it. You could look at classified ads for FREE STUFF, people sometimes just need their old appliances taken away.
@SveaSizzler Sure, I understand perfectly what parts you described!. It was the rigging of cables etc. That was to tecnical for my head. And I agree, the smoke from such process need ventilation. Not for the kitchen Skauvill
