    Able to withstand temperatures as high as 1,200 degrees fahrenheit without peeling or blistering, Rutland 1,200 Degree Black Stove Paint is great for touching up more than just stoves. Anything made of steel or cast iron can benefit from a few coats of this quick-drying silicone resin paint, including barbecue grills, fireplace tools, and chimney caps. Not only will whatever you paint look better, but because this paint also helps prevent rust and decay, a thorough coating will actually increase the longevity of stoves and other appliances.

    *Please Note: This paint should not be used without a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator.

    June 13, 2021
    Can I wait a few months to fire up the stove after application?
    1 Answer
    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.

    1 Answer
    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.)

    March 8, 2020
    I spray painted the interior of my firebox with Rustoleum about six years ago. I'm looking for a nice permanent solution. Would the Rutland 1,200 Degree Black be a good solution? Could I simply apply the paint over the existing finish?
    1 Answer
    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.

    I have a metal Heatalator inside my stone fireplace in my house which the surface of the metal is starting to rust. Can I use this paint on the metal before I put a gas log fireplace insert in?
    1 Answer
    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.

    from Nogales, AZ asked:
    November 22, 2019
    Can this product be used in brick chimneys?
    1 Answer
    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.

    I have a firepit that was built with 8 x 16 concrete blocks, will this product help with cracking blocks? Can this product be applied directly on the blocks?
    1 Answer
    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.

    Will this product cover Duravent SS stove pipe?
    1 Answer
    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.

    Can this paint be brushed onto the "brass" of fireplace glass doors of a wood burning fireplace without it being combustible?
    1 Answer
    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.

    Can this paint be used inside of a wood burning fireplace?
    1 Answer
    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.
