Re-Painted the stove last night

[Jotulf3cb]

Even though its only been a year ..... the Jotul was starting to look greyish ...... sprayed the entire stove last night and looks brand spanking new ;o)

A common problem with the matte black Jotuls . . . I thought about painting or polishing my stove this past Fall, but then figured I could live with the "new" look . . . OK, Shari . . . isn't it about time for you to chime in here about how nice your blue black finish still looks?

Is it fairly easy to repaint a stove a different color with a good result, or will it flake and otherwise look jacked up?

I was thinking of changing a black Blaze King King to some sort of silver/gray/pewter. Maybe put some lipstick on it.

Instead of painting the top of my summit as it was starting to look bad from where everything has been sitting on it, the local stove guy talked me into buying some rutland polishing paste. Smeared that stuff all over the top then buffed her out and it looks better than new and it was a heck of a lot easier than paint...

Stove polish every fall before the first fire.
Works good on the stove pipe too.

I didn't say anything, wasn't planning on saying anything (yeah, right!). I was busy this morning dusting off my BB Oslo which still looks showroom new and didn't see this post. (she sighs with satisfaction, leaves the computer keyboard and goes back to eating bon bons...)

My stuff calls it a "polish paste."
I wrap part of an old t-shirt around my pointer finger, hook some out and rub it on.
Kinda like putting polish on shoes in the old days.

sweet and when it dries it looks like new again? and i assume it is some kind of protection?

Better. It starts to form it's own patina.

kenny,

How does this stuff look right after you put it on (before you heat up the stove)? Reason I ask, we have a 'decorative' pot belly stove in the kitchen that, years & years ago, had stove polish on it but it needs 'something' done to it. We never burn in this stove so I'm wondering how this polish would look.

What are you guys using for paint? The BBQ paint you can find at the hardware store? My add-on is down in the basement but last summer the humidity got to it and it has a few rust spots on the top of the door so I'm planning on painting the whole thing.

I like it just the way it goes on. Buffing gives it some shine which I'm not partial to. Heating does not change the look.
My little 6oz. jug cost $6.00 and will do my big stove at least three years. It is black and needs to go on a black stove.
It 'd be a cheap and easy upgrade for an old pot belly.
Try a little hidden spot first if you're concerned.
Put some on that new stove to get rid of the new look. :lol:

i to have a spot on the top of my blaze king when i first got the stove the paint faded in one spot i think it was when it was brand new i spilt some water on it when it was heating up and it made a mark. i dont want to paint the whole stove, but could i use the high paint to just hit the top of the stove? the rustoleum spray paint what you guys using?

You can use stove spray paint from a stove store. Do it on a nice day 'cause you'll need plenty of ventilation and you'll want to protect from it's "more than usual" drift.

Tried it for the first time this fall. Worked wonders on the Vigilant.

 

[ecocavalier02]
