Dave T--the other posters have the right idea..any good
paint and rust remover and a coat of paint will do the job.
some stove collectors use engine block paint.on smaller
stoves like the Peak One i have used wood stove paint.
some collectors will not give advice on re-painting a
stove because of what i call the "antiques roadshow syndrom"
the item that would be worth a millon is now worth $1.95
because the owner polished,painted or turned it into a lamp.
no one wants to hand out advice that may bounce back to
them in terms of a lawsuit---"you told me and----"...
and i'm not really much of a collector,just an enthusiast.
the real stoveaholics have rooms full of these layed out by
make,model,color--
