Which stove paint color most closely resembles raw cast iron?

Wondering which stove bright paint most closely resembles cast iron. I have my stove sandblasted right now and really like the color of the cast iron.

Not high enough temp

Yep, you're right. Should have read past "stove paint".

Could you just use stove polish paste

Look at high temp header paint or engine enamel from the automotive speed shops. People paint exhaust manifolds.

Absolutely do not paint is much better in every way.

Typically cast stoves are flat satin or metallic black. Just look at the stovebrite color chart and pick what you like.

Thinking stove bright charcoal looks pretty close to cast iron. I have my stove sandblasted right now down to bare metal and like the look

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone have a photo of how the metallic black paint looks on the stove, perhaps a close up that shows the color?

I installed a stove that I had rebuilt, and removed all the original paint , but not repainted, under emergency circumstances. Two seasons later, it looks good, no rust, and looks almost exactly like it did with the metallic black paint that it started with. Not suggesting you not paint it, but I bet the metallic black would satisfy your desire.
