Andy,
While many have said Powder coat it, youre idea of paint is fine. Many
have the space and equipment to powder coat, but $60 to $200 for a powder
coating setup, and $10 to a couple of hundred dollars for a stove, a
$4 can of paint sure looks mity good.
I'd like to get into powder coating, but right now I don't have the space
for the stove in my garage. Maybe next car.
But bottom line is anything to help protect the metal and make it easier
to work on.
