Hi everyone, could you recommend a brand of paint to touch up my stove pipe which has a few spots of rust? Thanks.

Depends on the pipe and the age of the pipe. Many use Stove Brite but some use a different base paint. Simpson used a lacquer based paint that is not compatible with the acetone based Stove Brite. I found this out the hard way. Now I've heard that DuraVent is Stove Brite compatible. When in doubt call the mfg with the pipe type and age.
Remember that the paint will stink very badly when you run the stove the first few times, until you get the pipe hot enough. Best to burn on a warm day so you can run your stove on full with the windows open full at the same time to clear the stink.
5 years a few rust spots= new pipe and forget about it. If pipe fails house burns down does not compute for me.
