I am replacing the doors on my Vigilant I, which I inherited and it is an brownish/black/greyish color. The doors do not match. Can/should I repaint the whole stove to match the doors and if so what is the best paint to use? Thank you for any and all info!
 
Unless you have an enamel stove, which painting can be problematic, you can repaint the entire stove. Stove Bright makes a number of different high temperature paints in colors & types specifically for this purpose . I’d buy two cans to make sure you have a sufficient amount.
