RonnieF1967 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi Can anyone recommend a good stove paint to use? Specifically for the top of the stove and the front internal grate. Or will any heat resistant metal paint suffice? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks A good dose of Black grate polish should be all thats needed and will come up shiny with buffing if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRLMK38 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 As above but if you really want paint then Wilko seems to have a good competitive offer, or Vitcas Online for a higher spec option. https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-bbq-woodstove-matt-spray-paint-black-400ml/p/0413886 https://shop.vitcas.com/vitcas-heat-resistant-paint-high-temperature-paint-spray-black-526-p-asp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrose Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I've always cleaned the stove with white spirit and then used any of the black stove paints. Have a look on ebay, you have a choice of finishes. If you use a spray paint, spray it into a small container outside first and wear a mask. Then you can apply it with a brush.

They are foam pads impregnated with black whatever made for blacking solid plate cooking hob rings. Cleaner to use and just chuck away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Rose Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I had been prevaricating for over a year about what to use on mine for the first time (for me) as it had gone very grey and with a fair amount of rust. I ended up, about 10 days ago, sanding it a bit with fine sandpaper, dusting it off and then applying this stuff with a cloth... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N7DGNGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was a lot easier than I expected, certainly easier than I expected painting would have been, there was only a slight smell the first time the stove was lit and I reckon the tin probably contained about 10 times the amount needed. The stove looks really good after using for just over a week so hopefully I won't feel the need to do it again until late Spring to ensure it looks good throughout next summer.
