Detail paint for woodstove

Hi,

I used rustoleum for detail also and it lasted over 25 years

I know you can buy "stove paint" in a lot of different colors. I never tried this, but what if you bought a can of colored stove paint in a spray can, shook the heck out of it and sprayed it into a little cup, then applied it with a small paint brush?

I did this at my boss's suggestion, (several decades ago), and was not pleased. Had to work too fast...the stuff is designed to dry quick. Couldn't get the little detail brush clean after. It is like instant dried out brush.

Just my experience. (Test on a scrap material first. Use an old, unwanted brush...)

Why not use a GLOSS stove paint, assuming you used flat black for the stove.

Try this: Mask off the general area you want, in this case let's just say you want gold paint in the crevasses of the leaves. Give that masked off area a spray or two until it looks good. Next, remove the mask material, very lightly sand off the gold over spray, then spray your black paint on a lint free cloth and quickly wipe over the gold over spray area. The crevasses will remain gold while the flush area will take the wiped on black paint.

Looks pretty in just black like that too!
