I have had this problem in several places on my 91 Westy:  The grill
behind the stove lid, the grill on the rear facing wall (of the kitchen
cabinet), and the grill on the floor (under the fridge).  2 years ago, I
took them all out and used a wire brush on a drill to "sand" the old
flaky paint off and removed as much rust as I could.  I then spray
painted them all with a rust inhibitory paint and let them DRY for a
week! (read instructions) I then found the PERFECT match (to my
gray/grey Westy interior at my SHOE repair shop.  It's called Majik
(or Majic) spray paint for shoes and it comes in many colours and in
several hues etc.  I am sure that you will find the correct Brown
colour at your local shoe repair shop..  My guys had a color chart
from which I could choose (ie more than just what they stock on the
shelf)  The paint is great as it is meant to be sprayed on pliable
surfaces (shoes) and I also used it on my head rests with NO
peeling for 3 years.   Enjoy, Malcolm
