I'm in same boat as Eric, wanting to repaint stove face. I've searched on samba and found that paint code RAL 8028 was recommended ( and pics confirm) as close match to the factory brown.

But I also seem to recall reading somewhere about a krylon rattle can colour that was a good match. Haven't found the ref yet.

I’m always trying to eliminate unnecessary rattles and vibrations.  A small screw now is fitted to that location.
