Ask someone at Lowe's about this. I don't know, tho I don't want you to take the wrong advice. Can you look this subject up on a web site, or the name of company who makes Cast Iron? They may give you great advice. Best wishes, J.
Hi Debra, I found this website, but I don't know if it will be helpful or not. It doesn't give a specific brand of paint but rather a general type. Take a look and see what you think. It also looks like you might have missed a step, but I'm not sure. Wishing you the best & Happy Holidays!
