What's the highest temperature rated paint available?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I'm not finding anything beyond 650C after an initial search.  Does anyone know if higher temp paints are available?  It's for internal parts, not the stove body.  

 

If 650C is as good as it gets, is this suitable?  It's not specifically for stoves, but...

Are you sure that isn't Fahrenheit.......1050 Fahrenheit is around 565 degrees Celsius! 

You might be right. I've got some, somewhere.  Can't find it  1050 is in my head, but I can't remember if it was Celsius

You might look to industrial suppliers rather than 'stove paint'. It's not cheap, this one is a bit over £100 a litre but sold in a 5 litre tub... or the cost of a stove as an example for you, but suitable for 1000 deg C

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions.

 

I'll be the first to hold may hands up and say this is a quintessential first world problem!   But it's the firebricks in my stove that I find really ugly, being the pale yellow-ish colour that they are.  Especially when the fire is lit and bright and you can really see them.  So I was hoping to paint them so they disappear more.  I'll also be giving the baffle plate a once over at some point and was planning to finish with some paint on that too.  

 

No big problem though if no paints would be suitable.  The VHT paint that @Macpherson linked to above looked hopeful.  But reading the instructions for it, I'm not sure how I'd do that sure if it is suitable.  Perhaps I can check with the makers...

If it is that offensive (I am OK with mine)_ perhaps an option would be to call Victas who make a castable refractory ( a cement) and see if it would be suitable to put in a cement colouring, far cheaper and longer lasting than I think paint would be.

 

Noting that in my stove I am replacing the fire bricks every couple of years.. casting then out of refractory is a bit more work than cutting them but it is the cheapest option and seams to last me a little longer than buying them.

 

You'll need to measure what you use just now and make a suitable sized mould, and the right shape and then away you go. Noting to do this in the summer in case you don't get it right and have to make another set.

 

-Edit-

Thinking about it, I might try this!! Green or blue I think just because I can! No, sorry, 2 tone like  landscape - hmm going to experiment
