Okay,, the stove misbehaved and I have ordered a new one,, Its lasted 14 years and is chipped, doesnt match the Samsung Stainless fridge, so, Gettin a new one,,

Im not ditchin the old one,, Since Im working to get back on the road, and have plans for things Ive welded,, Im seein some home brew coatings, baked on,, AND I wont get killed by the wife!

Get a powder coating gun from Eastwood....and you can spend a lot of time making crappy looking stuff shiny!

I have an oven in the garage for doing that, and it works well.  There is a bit of a learning curve to find out how to get the powder on, how to get the grease out of porous parts (you may think it is clean and grease free until the heat pulls the grease out of the small cracks and pits).  You also can get water stuck in cracks and pits and when you are scrubbing parts, and then when you start baking the water comes spitting out and ruins the finish.

You can coat clean and shiny parts - but the powder coats parts that have a rough sandblast surface easier.....and it stick better once cured.
