Thanks fossil. I thought I would ask first because i didn't want to take the time to paint them and they start peeling. Should I give them one coat, start a fire burn it on, then paint again or give it several coats then start a fire?
Got an extra? Take it out in the garage or somewhere & give it a real light coat, then wait a while & see if you like how it looks. If not, give it a second coat...& etc. In any case, since you've already installed the thing, avoiding overspray onto the stovepipe is going to be impossible. If you care about that, take the thing apart and paint the spacers somewhere else. Otherwise, be prepared to spray liberally (lightly but widely) so that everything blends in. Lots of overspray and then smell while curing is to be anticipated. Mask and cover more than you think is needed. I know they're just small things, but when you start spraying high temp stove paint around, it's gonna go everywhere. Rick
