I have just bought a 10 year old V/C Encore stove with the forest green enamel paint. There are quite a few chips on the stove and I noticed an effort on the former owners part to repair a few of them. Unfortunately, a chip that is spray painted with green stove paint looks like a chip that has been painted with green stove paint!!! Is there anything that I can do to repair these chips to a more "original paint job" condition? I have heard that you can use furnace cement to fill the chip, sand it down, and then paint over the repair with porcelain touch up paint. Will this work? What will work?

Thanks,

Darren
 
No solutions.....but I have used furnace cement on my chipped black enamel.



It looks like furnace cement.
 
You might contact Vermont Castings for touch up enamel paint. If they can't help, perhaps this will work:
