So I picked up a P43 on MP the other day for $300. Works perfect but needs some tlc. Gonna sand down and repaint. Already started the process.it’s a little rusty especially inside ash pan compartment. Any advice of how to remove it. Was gonna just wire wheel and brush it then repaint. But it’s close quarters.
Marketplace find P43

That’s pretty much what I’ve done with the stoves I’ve refurbished, sandpaper and wirewheel, a dremel is great for the tight spots….Stovebright black satin looks great on them when it’s time to paint. Post some pics and keep us posted.

Hello
Good find!
I have refinished many pellet stoves.
I vacuum out the ash and then wire wheel it. For the tight rough spots a small grinder such as the Home Depot Husky brand pneumatic right angle die grinder works well

The outside paint, I use the Stove Bright Satin Black 1,400 Deg paint
That’s all
Media blasting helps too.
I have used Tractor Supplies Black Diamond media but I prefer white aluminum oxide

White aluminum oxide (Uniblanc. Condition is New. TM ) is at least99.5% ultra-pure. It sparkles when light hits it and has been used for decorative purposes. Very friable material. Most extensive range of grit sizes.

I'm sure it wasn't pretty. Most used stoves aren't. Have to go fetch my 600 buck Facebook Marketplace 6039 this week and refurb it. I believe with the way propane prices are going, it will wind up in my shop and I'll turn down the PEX floor heat. Not like I don't have plenty of corn to roast. Just picked up 7 ton.
