It's the flat black, non-enamel cast iron style, correct? Try some stove polish first.

Be aware that once stove polish is used, it has been reported that painting is out of the question. The stove polish makes the surface unfriendly to paint. This is NOT from personal experience, just passing on info from previous posts.

Stove polish is a black, carbon based goop that really doesn't require a base paint to "polish". So if paint was missing, this stuff would re-black the surface. I believe the carbon base is the reason that paint won't stick to it. I have heard a few people say the stuff was messy, but again, I DON'T have personal experience with it. When time comes for my stove, it will get painted.

What is your opinion of the product?
Easy to apply. I was nervous I was going to screw it up somehow. Turned out great.
Longevity?
It is a seasonal thing for me. The house can get humid during the summer. No central air here. The Vig shows more surface rust Than the Heritage, probably due to age.
After application, does it dry to the touch?
Kind of. Even after it has dried you can rub your finger and still pick up some polish. It seems to need a break-in fire to stop this.
Smell after first fire?
Yes. Smell varies depending upon the number of coats used. The smell from the Vig was apparent. The Heritage, not so much. Still had a smell, though.
