Is it good to heat up the exterior wood stove metal with a propane torch right before spraying on the high temperature paint? See video below!

No. After the stove surface has been prepped the paint should be applied at the recommended temperature.

Not sure the video has much to do with the question. It appears to be a new stove.

Hi BG
When they pulled the stove out of the shed it was rusty and shabby. The even replaced the door gasket. Also they used an angle grinder with a flap pad. I have done that so it is nice and smooth so after the paint it does look brand new. The torch looks just like this Harbor Feight one?
