Hello Vermont Castings historians. I am considering acquiring what I think is a Resolute III, that has a rare porcelain color that I can't find anywhere else. The local dealers are saying it is a Granite Gray, but it obviously is not, it's way too light gray, almost powder blue. Since it has a number of poorly matched chips on the finish, I want to match the color (if at all possible) and make it look good as soon as it's in the house. I used to sell Vermont Castings many years ago with the guy who is selling it, but he is no longer a dealer and does not know the color name either. I cannot seem to figure out how to drag my photo from my library (on a mac) to this post to show the color to you. Any advice?

It was called Antique Gray at the time, but it has been long unavailable as a touch up paint color thru Vermont. Anything you did would be 'best match' as you can find it. Best suggestion would be use the darker (more recent Made-To-Order) Granite Gray touch up mixed with the older Sand color to create a custom mix, unless someone knows where to source the original.
Thanks so much Tech Guru! After weeks of searching the web for like pics I have an answer. That makes sense because the local dealers were not able to find anything. I like your idea of blending the two colors, though Vermonts stuff is awful expensive. I actually found another Antique Gray stove for sale on ebay, know that I know the color name, and the pictures show a marked change in color when they are fired vs. cold. Will look forward to a cozy house this winter, and may seek your knowledge with other issues.
