I just wanted to know why did my stove paint get like this? I got a new stove in April, so I was doing a break in fire to cured the paint. Stove was burning at 650 on the stove top. Nothing was glowing. Or any signs of overfiring . Air was turned down flue was 350 degrees.

I’m thinking those parts cured and the other areas have not. Get her rippin’ and it should even out.
 
I’ve had good luck with “Raven Black Stove Polish”, it blended in my black VC well. It’s a mess to apply, definitely wear a glove you don’t care about throwing in the trash.
 
What paint did you use? It will probably even oit
I just took the picture again without the flash from the camera and this is how it looks now.i only been burning for a week in April, so it looks like it’s not fully cured.

Im not a paint expert.

Stove polish on a painted stove as this is, is not recommended.

Given the history I do think it needs further curing.
