Refinishing Stove

[RKBAGUY]

I have a '91 Integra purchased pre-owned that had rust spots on the upper and lower plates and a few other places. My plan is to sandblast them after the end of the season, but I was wondering if any of you could tell me how to get the black coloration back into the iron to protect it and make it look like new. Is that done with an etching solution, or is there some other method to recreate that finish?

We used to use stove blackening...back when burning wood. Once refinished an old Bullard wood stove with Stove Brite paint

I believe Stove Bright satin black will do the trick

I was looking for something that wasn't a painted surface. This would be for the interior parts. If you take a look at a new stove with iron parts, it looks to me like the coating isn't a surface treatment but 'anodized' or 'blackened'. I realize those two methods are also surface treatments, but they are likely far more durable than a spray-on product, no?

Does anyone know how that black finish is derived in the first place? Is it a natural byproduct of the forging process?

Just wire brush the rust spot and put the polish on
