    Anybody know where to get high heat enamel ? All I can find is 500f engine enamel but it needs to be 1200 or better.

    Thanks

    Satin Black from Stove Bright is as shiny as Im aware of.
    Most all stove Manufacturers use Stove-Bright. Lopi uses Metallic Black except for the Cape Cod it's Charcoal. Blaze King was always Satin until recently they switched everything to Metallic Black. It's a nice look, check it out. It might suit you.

    I used it when I resurrected the defiant, then touched it up again this summer. Needs a 3 progressive burn cure. Lasts well after the cure. Stinks though during curing, but it seems it all does at first.

    This stove will be in my shop so the smell shouldn't be an issue. I'll remember the 3 burn cure part too. With the Jotul we did it in six parts the smell was horrible ! Funny thing is that's one of the best parts of breaking in a new stove it. It's like new car smell but way worse :drool:

    I didn't really read the can much the first time and it was really really bad. Very smokey. The second time I followed the instructions and it was much more tolerable.

    I have used other high heat paint from big box stores back before I discovered Stove-Bright. It's the way to go.
    It says a lot to me if all the stove manufacturers use it!

    I really don't think I would go the extra expense of Stove Bright paint on that stove, just an opinion , and I am no expert

    It's only a few bucks more a can than cheap crap from big box stores. And it goes so much further and lasts way longer. I use it everyday.

    Right where I want to be.
    webby, is the Stovebright self-leveling, or does it leave brush marks?
    What's your preferred application method?

    The link above shows Goldenfire brown, metallic black , and metallic brown in a can.
    No matter, I would use the satin spray.
    Thanks.
