I painted the whole top of a chest-type freezer with it a while back and it actually turned out pretty good; but then, I didn't have much to lose considering the top had a good bit of surface rust on it. I didn't take time to remove the rust because no one was going to see it anyway, but the paint finish was surprisingly even. You may have to paint the whole range top; might be hard to get a perfect color match if you just try to do an area.
