Rutland 1,200 Degree Black Stove Paint - 1 Pint

Per Rutland, you can use their paint on the interior bricks of your masonry fireplace.

You can clean the brush with mineral spirits.

Per the manufacturer, one is indeed recommended.

No, it is recommended to cure the paint after the second coat is dry to the touch. This is done by allowing the surface to gradually and slowly heat over the course of an hour or two to reach temperatures up to 500 degrees (F). During this process, please allow proper ventilation while heating for the first time.

Yes, however it is suggested to clean the grate as much as possible so the paint has an adequate surface to adhere to.

This product is not intended to be used on the interior of a fireplace.

This product is not recommended for use inside of a firebox.

It is not recommended to paint the interior of a masonry fireplace.  The paint will not adhere properly to the brick and will produce fumes when a fire is lit.

The intended use of this product is for the painting of heating appliances such as a wood stove.

This would indeed work on the metal trim for fireplace doors. 

Here are the application instructions for this paint: Apply to a cold stove or surface with a brush. Apply the first coat and then let it dry to the touch for about 1-2 hours before attempting to re-coat. After the second coat is dry to the touch, then the heat cure can be applied. This is done by allowing the surface to gradually and slowly heat over the course of an hour or two to reach temperatures up to 500 degrees (F). (During this process, please allow proper ventilation while heating for the first time.)

This paint is only intended for use on plate steel or cast iron stoves.  We cannot guarantee satisfactory results when applying it to concrete/stone.

No.  Over time, this paint would peel and crack in this application due to flame contact.

Yes.  For more information and details, please see our fireplace paint buying guide.

That Rutland 1200 degree will work fine. If you rather a color, any of the Stove Brite Brand Paints will work great as well.

The Rutland 1,200 Degree Black Stove Paint would work for your application, but we would recommend sanding down the area you are going to paint. This will help to decrease the peeling of the paint when heat is applied, which is a concern when the underlying layer is something like the Rustoleum product.

It may not. In fact, none of the paints we offer may be exposed to direct flame. 

You can paint your heatilator with Stove Bright paint. I don't believe it will resolve your rust issue. There may be a leak at your chase top where moisture is entering the home. An insert is fine, as long as the heatilator is not damaged and is functional.

It is not recommended to paint over brick and mortar, as the high temperatures often cause the paint to discolor and separate quickly. The better option would be to apply a thin coating of refractory mortar over the existing material. This will seal and protect any damaged brick, while enhancing the thermal efficiency of the fireplace.

This paint will likely crack and peel soon after application, depending on the amount of heat generated from the firepit and the proximity to the flames. We do not recommend it for this reason.

Yes, it is.

Yes you can use it inside the fireplace. Yes you would want to clean the surface very well prior to application. 

None of the paints we offer will be safe for use in the application described. 

The curing instructions for this paint per the manufacturer are: "Apply to a cold stove or surface with a brush. Apply the first coat and then let it dry to the touch for about 1-2 hours before attempting to re-coat. After the second coat is dry to the touch, then the heat cure can be applied. This is done by allowing the surface to gradually and slowly heat over the course of an hour or two to reach temperatures up to 500 degrees (F). (During this process, please allow proper ventilation while heating for the first time.)"

Yes, this would be the paint you would use.

There is no reason why it could not.

This paint can most certainly be used to paint your exposed galvanized chimney above the roof.

No, this high heat paint is a silicone resin paint.

This can indeed be used inside a fireplace.

A gas grill can indeed be used to cure high temperature paint.

This product can indeed be used to cover the Duravent brand of stainless stovepipe and chimney. The pipe should be thoroughly wiped down with a solution of water and vinegar to remove any residual machining oil that is still present on the pipe. Once dry, the surface of the pipe should be roughened with a 600 to 800 grit sandpaper, then painted.

This is the information I received from the manufacturer, Rutland. Apply to a cold stove or surface with a brush. Apply the first coat and then let it dry to the touch for about 1-2 hours before attempting to re-coat. After the second coat is dry to the touch, then the heat cure can be applied. This is done by allowing the surface to gradually and slowly heat over the course of an hour or two to reach temperatures up to 500 degrees (F). (During this process, please allow proper ventilation while heating for the first time.)

It can indeed be used for your purpose.

This paint is not suggested for use on the top grate of a gas stove.

The 1,200 degree paint should indeed be sufficient to hold to the ceramic panels. Coating the panels in repeated light passes is ideal.

This high temperature paint can indeed be applied to brass doors surrounds, trim, and louvers. In order for the paint to adhere properly, it is necessary to roughen the brass surface with a 400 grit sandpaper. This will give texture to the surface and allow the paint to take.

This product can be used to coat the metal interior chassis of a wood burning prefabricated fireplace, but it is not recommended for painting masonry or refractory panels. The paint does not adhere well to this type of material and will flake and discolor relatively quickly, if you are planning on continuing to burn wood.

While this paint can withstand close proximity to gas log sets, it is not designed to adhere to firebrick or refractory liners. The paint should only be used on metal surfaces.

This product can indeed be used to paint metal firebox panels. However, I do not recommend using it to paint decorative refractory or ceramic panels, as the paint will peel and separate relatively quickly.

It is not necessary to use a primer with this type of paint. However, it is recommended to use a primer if the stove body being painted has any corrosion that has built up.

As long as there is not a danger of the grate contacting an part of the heating element in the stove itself, there will be no reason that this paint could not be used for this type of application.
