go to a hardware shop or pluming shop and buy a map gas gun. It shouldn't cost more than 100 bucks and you will use it for heaps of other stuff. eg stuck screws, silver soldering, tight flanges and my favorite paper wasp nests

I bent my twin sticks cold in a bench vice with a long pole slipped over the top to stop them from bending where I didn't want them to. My fitter mate told me not to heat them if I didn't want them to discolour, ended up being easy.

Shouldn't raw steel be painted anyway?
