Hi all. Hope everyone's holidays are going well.
This is my first time posting on the new site. I managed to find my previous post on my Caloric range and added to that post with a new question.
When I went back to the home page and then to the forum page, I didn't see my post. So I'm guessing it was archived. If not, please pardon the double post.
In my previous post, I was asking about an oven floor for my 1976 Caloric Range RSP-366-U3.
I found an oven floor on eBay, however the range has been in storage for a while and the oven floor shows some surface rust.
The rust is not all the way through the floor so I'm wondering if there is a paint/coating safe for the interior of the oven.
What I'm finding in web searches, is not reassuring.
While there are 1200F rated coatings, I'm seeing them mostly recommended for the exterior of wood burning stoves or exterior of BBQ grills.
Or maybe just touch up paint? Or just leaving it as is and giving it a cleaning to remove any loose rust?
Here's photos of the one I've found (sent to me by the seller) for reference, the photos I've posted previously show cracking and deformation of my flame spreader. This one is in much better shape.
Many thanks for your assistance now and in the past!

The first photo shows the overall oven floor before cleaning.
The second one shows a close up of the problem area after cleaning by the seller.
The third shows the flame spreader in much better shape than mine.
