[unclebobsjerky]

Good morning everyone. the question i have is this, i am going to buy pellet stove pipe for my new stove if i buy stainless am i able to paint it black (for inside of house)

Yes, just make sure you use high temp paint. I did that very thing for some of my pipe. Oh, be aware that you will probably get some fumes during the first burn. They aren't bad - just don't let them make you nervous. Also, don't forget to get black self-sealing silicone tape to seal up the joints.

Vinegar also works and is cheaper

lacquer thinner is just a part of my shop supplies..
If you buy a pint, just to do your pipe, yes vinegar is cheaper.
But the thinner works better...... (imo)... if you have some....

Lacquer and Thinners is also part of my shop supplies it is used every day in my spray shop
was just pointing out that a person that would normally not have said product
could use an everyday product which cost a whole lot less than a pint of thinners
and how often would they use it on other projects

Vinegar should be used on any galvanized pipe because it will etch the galvanizing and let the paint stick better. A lot of pellet or multi fuelr pipe is doubled walled and has stainless on the inner pipe and galvanized on the outside pipe.

And the thinner smells a lot better than the vinegar, especially if you are in a small closed area, with a ......
