inside stove paint

gyingling said:

I recently purchased an Enviro Windsor free standing stove used. I am in the process of cleaning and inspecting it before I install. My question would be as I am new to pellet stoves; can I paint the cast iron brick liner with hi-heat stove paint? I have not been able to find any info for or against painting the liner anywhere I have looked on the net. Any thoughts?

High heat is not meant for direct flame. It's not flame proof and will burn off. Some ceramic coatings go up to 1300 F but my guess is that they will not look so new afterwards. Quad recommends painting the inside with High heat paint, but it's more of a maintenance thing so it doesn't rust in the summer time.

go ahead, some of it might burn off though as mentioned

I am really surprised Pete (imacman) didn't chime in. He did a neat job of painting the inside of his Englander last year. Looked like real bricks when he finished.

PM imacman and he might explain his process for you.

The actual painting isn't difficult, just time consuming.

Clean the surface of all dirt/grease with rubbing alchohol. I then sprayed the "grout lines" with the sand colored Stove Bright (2 coats w/ about 20 min. between coats).

After they dried overnight, I used automotive striping tape the same width as the grout lines to cover them ( a very sharp exacto knife helps here to cut the small vertical strips)....making sure to rub the tape down well between the "bricks".

Then, simply spray 2 coats of the bronze Stove Bright onto the bricks, let dry, and peel the tape off....that's it.

i have a quad ae isert that i just had the burn pot ceramic coated, i have not fired it up yet so i dont know how well it will stand up to the direct heat.
they use this stuff for exhaust headers on cars and bikes so it should do pretty good. here is the post
