I have a beautiful 20 year old CB3 in black enamel. The finish is excellent except for an area that I should have never tried to touch up. It stared as a small patch below the air intake adjustment. Looked like minor degradation of the finish due to air intake activity. Hardly noticeable. Well I decided to touch it up a couple of years ago with the OEM enamel in the little jar. Wasn’t happy with the result but should have left it as is. Nah, I had to try again. Then I put a quick spray of clear ceramic paint over the area to try to blend it all in. Looked Ok for a while but eventually the area I sprayed turned whiteish from the heat. Bottom line is I should have never messed with it. Question is has anyone tried a small area touch up on this type of finish with a good result as far as looks and durability? The original jotul brush on touch up is ok for smaller nicks but not a good option a larger repair. Some of the specialty high temp stove paints look like an option but not sure about color match. I don’t want to mess the look up more than I already have. Appreciate any input from the Jotul experts.

If you find a solution let us know sorry
Will do. I don’t want to refinish or paint the entire stove. The enamel is in great condition on the entire stove except the area below the air adjustment. I’ll eventually find a cosmetic fix. Thanks

Thanks whoever told me about Thurmalox stove paint awhile back!
Many months ago I was talking on here about looking for a gloss black enamel high temp paint to touch up the top of my 1993 Dovre Aurora stove, the paint cracks and peels off and the little touch up bottles of porcelain black are only good up to 400 degrees and it would take me 20 bottles of...
