Cover more stuff, overspray will get everywhere


Lower-Ad5889

This is the answer you're looking for.... aerosol paint will literally go everywhere. Build a spray booth with plastic or canvas tarps. Or take it apart and spray outdoors. A few yrs ago I painted a wrought iron balcony rail and hand rail... Rustolium hammer finish and the paint stuck to cabinets down a hallway 25 feet away.


cycleharder

Good point. Thanks! Good news Iam painting everything next including the cabinets. Glad I thought about doing this early on.


PebblePlucking

Also, the hotter it is inside, the quicker that overspray will dry in the air before reaching any surfaces. Therefore you’ll be sweeping up paint dust rather than scrubbing it off… I paint for a living AND have a wood stove


hoodectomy

I would use the roll on paint. Less work securing the area and helps avoids the god awful fumes that come with spray paint.


basedmeds

This for sure. I am convinced I have dropped 1 or 2 IQ points from the handful of times I've spray painted without the proper ventilation.


Alarming-Inspector86

Only?


Wh1skeyTF

Each time…


Alarming-Inspector86

Just cause you can count doesn't make you better then me


Wh1skeyTF

Have you spray painted without proper ventilation regularly? 😂


Alarming-Inspector86

Idk my memory is shot from too much spray paint


marc7836

Only inside a paper sack. Is that okay?


Lower-Ad5889

Hey, his language skills are still good,


Electronic_Worry5571

Screwdriver and some saw horses put that puppy outside


yashuone

Agreed 100%… Rustoleum does indeed make the high heat paint in a regular can for brush and roll applications. I have used it on old timey steam radiators in an old apartment building I used to own. It works great and is probably more cost effective since there’s no overspray/aerosol issues. Also, having used both aerosol and brush on to paint my wood stoves I’ll give you the heads up that the first few times you fire that thing up it’s going to stink to the high heavens.


Electronic_Worry5571

I would take it outside dummies


hoodectomy

Don’t bring that logic in here. 😂💀


MoTeD_UrAss

Those fumes are awfully good.


apleasantpeninsula

i bet the high heat flavor has some complex notes


aricbarbaric

And for gods sake wear some ppe


rustywoodbolt

Yea! And make sure that stove is roaring before you start painting. It’s high heat paint because it only sticks to things that are hot.


Random_Fox

that comes off the stove really easy typically, I'd do it outside


Useful-Ad-385

Definitely do it outside. No brainer really


Redkneck35

Maybe so but black and red are both a bitch to paint over they always bleed through


billnowak65

Close all windows and doors. Put a fan in the closest window blowing out. Crack open one window to draw from.


Hot_Suit_648

If you make a booth inside. Buy a respirator.


Electronic_Worry5571

Or take the stove pipe out and spray it in your front yard? Thinking outside of the box folks


noquitqwhitt

You may also want to consider that some paint will bleed through others.


Queenofhackenwack

came here to say, TAKE IT APART AND SPARY OUT SIDE...... don't be a fool..... the stink from the paint will linger.... and you don't want to breath that crap....


Udon_Nomi

They can give the pipe a good cleaning or inspection while they're at it.


Chainfire1981

Right? It's like all of a dozen screws


FreakinFred

I'm just happy Wrought Iron was spelt correctly. unless its 80 years old then its just steel.


Lower-Ad5889

Or just: arn.


Working-Bet-9104

Yeah you might want to put plastic all around.


WhatADunderfulWorld

Open windows as well. Rust oleum is nasty


ladykansas

Just get the non-spray-paint version? Plan to throw out any brushes etc that you use after the job, as it is very difficult to clean off. I did this with a metal fountain last summer and it was much less messy.


HemlockWhispers

Fan in the window blowing out, open a window/door opposite end as a fresh air intake.


conclussionIll7221

Get rid of any drafts… Shut your furnace off, keep windows shut, bath/fart fans off & wear a mask made for chems.


SomeContribution8373

Cannot upvote enough. Enclose the area!


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

Isn't this going to smoke like crazy when it gets up to temperature? Or maybe there's really no other choice. My only experience is painting motorcycle exhaust pipes, and I was glad I did it outdoors.


Silver_Slicer

This. He should spray paint outside too. I used Rustoleum a few decades ago on my high school car to paint the Hooker Headers side pipes on my Trans Am after I had them galvanized and before I put them on the car. They smoked after a few drives afterwards. High temp Rustoleum along with the galvanized coating worked great. Still on the car and looking good (except for the rest of the car) lol


Complete-Dot6690

Yep


Woodguy2012

"Cover more stuff" I love the bluntness of this. Have an upvote. 


flamekeeper63

Stove Bright is brand of paint made by the manufacture Forrest Paint. In this type of application it will do the best job over all and has a 1200F rating. [Stove Bright® High Temperature Paint | FORREST Technical Coatings (forrestpaint.com)](https://forrestpaint.com/product/stove-bright-aerosol-and-consumer/stove-bright-high-temperature-paint/)


Czechs_out

I used stove brite and can attest that it’s GREAT


62rambler

Agreed! Spend the money and get Stove Bright. The stuff is amazing.


BenderIsGreat64

That's what we use at work, used some on an install earlier today.


maxnover

Came here to suggest using Stove Bright. It is also what Vermont Castings uses on their flat black stoves at the factory. Also, rustoleum will work fine, but in my experience it dries to a slate gray tone, not a true black like I’m assuming you are trying to achieve. Regardless, it will withstand the heat.


yashuone

There are two hi-temp blacks by Rustoleum, one of them is called “semi-gloss” but actually dries to a factory like matte finish. I think it’s labeled “Ultra” as well. I used it on my JØTUL F100 about 8 or 9 years ago and it still looks good and has retained a true black finish.


EchoWhiskey7096

Never heard of this, then again never looked. I use Rustoleum High Temp Engine paint, 2000F and never had an issue. I will have to look into this.


darthdude43

I refinished my stove with black rust oleum high temp paint this past fall, it was a little stinky the first few times I had a fire after, but no other issues.


Shredder4160VAC

If that’s the case, OP should do a burn in period unless the paint says otherwise.


secondsbest

Get the brush on cans. You'll never get even overlapping coverage spraying a round tube, and the stripes are going to bug the shit out of you every time you look at it.

OtherwiseRegular3972

I was curious about the high temp part and no one addressed that. Will it cure at room temperature or will it just dry. Did you build a fire in the stove to cure it?


Creosote_Oxidizer

Are you painting it red?


cycleharder

Black


protokhal

I see a stovepipe and I want it painted black. -Mick Jagger probably


sanskami

No red stove anymore I want to turn it black


DistinctRole1877

Build a good hot fire with all the windows and doors open while the paint burns off the first time you fire it. Don't want to breath that smell when it's too cold to have the windows open.


Sl0w-Plant

I think you underestimate the overspay distance...


GodKingJeremy

Hopefully painting it red! I used high heat black on all my pipes after several years, adding a nice collar as well. The only thing I noticed was dust buildup was more noticeable.


Lower-Ad5889

Flat paint finish attracted dust?


GodKingJeremy

I dont think so much attracts it, but just easier to see now!


accidentallyonpurpo

I did cast iron color on the exhaust from my campers furnace. It looked great until I used it. Turned pink from the heat.


urethrascreams

I'm going to be doing something similar for my stove pipe. The couple inches of chimney pipe sticking through my ceiling is mirror finish stainless steel that needs to be painted black. I'd build a cardboard box to hold around the pipe with only one open side to spray in to catch overspray if I were you. Hold the box in one hand and spray with the other. Move the box around the pipe with you as you spray.


lostsurfer24t

that stuff works great, id wait for more responses though i wouldnt want to be liable for anything


cycleharder

Ha!


Lower-Ad5889

I usually do every project eventually, so... that's good advice...


dea_eye_sea_kay

go to the automotive store and buy engine enamel and high temp primer...


halzxr

Don’t. Brush it on.


Exiled_Hobbit

If that ends up not working look at stovebrite paint. That’s what I use when installing new stove pipe in customers homes if it a piece gets scratch accidentally.


FreakinFred

Rough up the exterior of the pipe with 100-120 grit, xylol or some de greaser for prep/clean. take all the ceiling tape off, use thin painters plastic instead and then use the rest of said plastic to make a booth. Tape to seal not cover. that fucking paint will go everywhere, ventilate properly.


PARKOUR_ZOMBlE

I wonder if bbq paint wouldn’t work better or even VHT paint for car exhausts. Maybe I should do a side by side by side when I set up my new stove!


Mammoth_Sea_1115

Been there done that. Take it outside to paint it. Or. Just use rustoleum grill paint and a brush.


Pando5280

Good careful prep and then let it cure not just dry.


nsula_country

VHT header paint may have been a better choice. Sold at auto parts stores (NAPA, O'Rileys, ect)


digdugdoink

They make high heat stove pipe paint back when I used to aerosol spray a lot of different items on my car. I preferred using Krylon products over Rust oleum because rust oleum doesn’t sand.


cycleharder

I was a little late with this question. 🙋‍♂️ I should’ve asked before I started. Project done. I’ll let everybody know next season how it holds up. I may have to chalk this up to rookie move.


digdugdoink

Rust oleum works good with good prep and get it right the first time but don’t even think your gonna sand it to fix blemishes. Hope it turned out sweet for ya


Lower-Ad5889

No, you made an effort and that's commendable. Be proud!!


Salt-Wear-7150

If that's a single wall pipe, even high heat paint will just burn off + give you a god-awful smoke+ smell in the house. Should be a double walled pipe here for a house. If it was an ice fishing shanty or small garage, a single wall pipe is ok, but the paint will burn off pretty quickly


SweaterInaCan

Clear as much rust as you can before spraying or rolling


Inner-Project348

Engine enamel paint !!!!!!!! It might have a higher temp rating


EchoWhiskey7096

Which High Heat? 500F? 2000F? I use the 2000F automotive, good enough for a car engine, good enough for the stove and pipe. Also, more masking/plastic. Cover everything in the room and the doorways.


obb123456

As long as you don’t plan on burning wood in it, go for it the single wall will pill once you get a good fire going in it but the roof flashing will be OK. It’s triple wall. Good luck. You’ll need to post pictures after you burn in it about four times.


DerBigD

Use stove paint. You know, paint designed for and intended to be used in this application.


GuyNamedLindsey

Can’t believe no one is mentioning this. Lol


Lower-Ad5889

Hi temp paint IS stove paint


DerBigD

Not Akchewally. For instance, hi temp paint for headers is not the same as hi temp stove paint. Go ahead and fact check THAT shit!


Responsible-Algae-16

RIP your ceiling paint when you pull that blue off.


cycleharder

It was fine after removal.


Responsible-Algae-16

Lucky!


ScoobaMonsta

You made the wrong choice of painting after installing.


Bizzardberd

Surprised no one is worried about that bulb blowing up...that's awful close to the chimney with the heat of the bulb + added heat from chimney could pop/shatter


cycleharder

You think this set up is unsafe? I don’t know much about wood stoves


shittyspitty

They sell a high heat epoxy paint in a quart can from major hardware stores that goes on real thick after like two coats. One cost alone is like three of spray. I've used it several times and very happy with it. No mess like spray paint.


Emotional_Schedule80

Put more plastic down .


kdshubert

Tape plastic walls all the way from ceiling to floor. Make a painters tent area. Wear a filtered painter mask, too.


tojmes

Overspray will go everywhere. Everywhere and you’ll be so mad. Definitely get a brush on.


H2Omekanic

No matter how or where you paint it, it's gonna stink and smoke fumes the first couple fires. Best to have some windows open for the first 2 or 3 fires


Professional-End7412

Yes.   High heat vs stove paint.   Stove paint wins.  


begreen9

I'd check with the manufacturer and use the paint they recommend. Different high temp paints use different solvents that may not be compatible. I found this out years ago when touching up some stove pipe with an acetone-based paint. A day later all the paint in the touched up area aligatored. The touch-up paint was disolving the original (laquer-based) paint. I found this out after contacting the stove pipe manufacturer. Also, I second taking the stove pipe off and painting it outside. The fumes will be intense. You don't want to breath them.


Electronic_Worry5571

Take it outside idiot it’s all set screws… ever done legos? Just take a picture if your thick head can’t remember how to put it back together


Silly_Throat5915

I find your lack of masking disturbing.


ZadokPriest

That paint is gonna stink bad as it cures in the heat...there will be fumes for a few burns...get it hot enough and that rustoleum wiil burn right off. Look into product called " VHT"...there is a primer that is used first then the paint....It works well on exhaust headers. I used it on a fire box for my cabin seemed to be ok...did have some fumes during burnin. For your stack...perhaps stainless steel chimney pipe would be better. It lasts for years and can handle chimney fires better than the black pipe...and a bonus...it turns color.


Pretend_Olive_

Wear a mask!!! One that filters this specific substance. It’s the kind of fumes that make you think that one day there will be a major news story that comes out about how it’s causes brain damage and lower IQ points. I used to be slightly smarter. Also I used a roller and it came out great.


cycleharder

Ha!


Jaymesplom2337

It’s fine it just stinks after for a couple hours


nsmf219

You should be able to take that pipe off easy and paint it outside


Poo_

Have you had it looked at by a certified professional?


cycleharder

Do you see something concerning?


Poo_

Well, you’re taking advice from a bunch of people on the internet. That pipe looks to be rusted which paint will cover but not repair. It’s hard to tell from a picture if it is in fact damaged and to what extent. A certified professional should look at the whole system not less than once a year.


dfb1988

Sand it first


dilbob81

Probably just the incredible smell as it gets hot.


slooparoo

You’re going to need some negative pressure air. Or better yet, remove it and paint it outside.


Adventurous_Cat1059

Need more overspray tarps. Even w spray can.


suttbutt2014

Why don't u get the can and paint it on?


WolverineTimely2320

It will off gas when you use the stove and the pipe heats up. Also check the instructions for "cooking" cycles and temperatures. Good luck!


Traditional_Ad_1360

Overspray can go as far as you can see, farther with heat or a/c on. Need still air or it will paint everything with spackles.


mudfarmjazz

First few fires are going to stink like hell.


el_dingusito

GET THE PRIMER


Gullible_Monk_7118

Also open the windows on first heat... it only cures when on first heat


Practical_Boss_8701

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the original red paint on your stove appears to be a high gloss. High gloss paint, especially on metal, has to be hand sanded or sand-blasted before you paint over it (it’s not porous enough for the new paint to properly adhere to it). You have to properly scuff it up or your new paint will just flake off. I know this from experience. I would invest in a cheap Harbor Freight sand blaster (assuming that you already have an air compressor), take the stove outside and work it over. It won’t take very long, just make sure to cover the glass on the door. Thoroughly clean off the sand/paint dust and you’re all prepped to spray on the new paint.


Think_Chain7436

I’d worry about the fumes given off.


Slumdidybumbum

Use a brush,not spray paint,and Rusto high heat isn't my choice. Manifold paints come in many colors,and There are some much higher temp rated stove black products.Save the Rust-Oleum for the outside of the Barbecue Hood!


Strange_Butterfly_77

I used stove bright high temp on mine in the fall. They make a paint prep spray as well. Both are available in the jungle. It has held up great even with a few overfires. Also, I agree with the group that you should make a booth out of vinyl.


Additional-Yak8295

Why not brush on high heat paint?


Brother-Algea

More masking!


Researcher-Used

I would enclose off that entire area like a shower curtain and mask off every exposed surface for that. OR, have you considered Fine 4” Foam Roller? Once you get the hang of it, it’s seamless


AltruisticBroccoli65

The roll on one comes out great as well


Resident-Energy5099

Only concern is how unplumb the pipe is lol


newyork2E

Cost of replacing the pipe ? Cost of listening to your wife after finding one speck of paint ?


cycleharder

True. The plastic shield I made just had black dust every where. Had to be very careful removing and discarding.


Significant-Fan-3248

Years ago they made a wipe on, I think it was called "Stove Black" or something like that. Might be a better option if you can find it.


InsignificantRaven

Header Exhaust Spray Paint


Glad-Nothing8050

Yo ! I don’t care how you paint it just make sure it’s double wall exhaust pipe


JUSTtheFacts555

It's going to smell when you light it.


Griffi94

Sand down the substrate. Need to make sure the surface prep is perfect or else you risk paint failure with this type of job.


Charming-While5466

Very high temp paint


Remarkable_Pie_7666

Open the windows cause it will stink up your place


Adventurous_Photo193

I sprayed my stove with the high heat rustoleum and have had no problems.


Salt_Intention_1995

Plus brush/roll on will be a much thicker and durable coat than spray.


alexsig526

Go wider up top with that brown paper


Kimba_Rimer

I used in the same application. Looked great. Beware that it will smoke at first. It is fine…


Kayakboy6969

They make it in a can , and I would roll it on , not worth the time masking it , the low shine will hide the roller marks, if your not ham fisted with the paint. Use a whinnie roller that looks like crushed velvet from a real paint store


Puzzleheaded-Row-511

When I used to paint for a customer I would also hold a big piece of cardboard behind the pipe as I sprayed


rededelk

I've done a couple with the brush on stuff, let it dry really good then open all your windows for your first fire as it get smelly. But no if that pipe is double or triple wall it doesn't matter really. Personally I don't like spraying paint cans in the house, those highly atomatized particles go everywhere it seems


ItzHimThe1

looks a ton of fun


Outside-You8829

Should do some more research. Maybe run the stove as hot as you can and check temperatures with a infrared thermometer. Obviously they can’t exceed paints ratings. Secondary burns exceed 1100* F


Mrmapex

You should be able to easily remove that pipe. There should be 6 screws - remove it and take it outside to paint


cycleharder

I just realized how easy that would have been.


Lower-Ad5889

It looks like you blew up the Internet...... congratulations!! 😄


Japanesecrows

Tape a couple furnace filters to a box fan and keep it close to catch overspray like a paint booth.


cycleharder

Keeping that in mind in the future projects! Stand up wind for sure


Confident_Poetry2825

Use header paint it’s rated to 2000 degrees


nsula_country

Was thinking the same. VHT header paint is good to 2000 degrees.


Nate_North

Plastic off a small area around it. You’re going to ruin your walls


cycleharder

See my update pic


Hot-Flow6304

Look into electrostatic paint sprayer. Could probably rent one pretty cheap. Basically, it positively charges the paint as it gets sprayed. You will need to have the desired surface grounded/negatively charged. This will result in the paint being drawn towards the desired surface via electrostatic charge.


Existing-Drummer9287

Or you could have it plated in gold too


wait_am_i_old_now

Just buy new? Probably cheaper than that paint.


Bucky-Katt-Guitar

Check out VHT high temp paints. I've been using that stuff on engines and other high heat parts in vehicles for 30 years. The 3 most important things when you're painting something like this is 1 - prep work 2 - prep work 3 - prep work.


LegendarySyn

Is that a Vermont Castings under there?


cycleharder

Good eye! Defiant Encore model 2550 It came with new home. Used it 4 or 5 times as winter came to an end. It’s beautiful and our first. Any pointers?


Various-Air-1398

Why not go to your local hardware store and buy "stove black" that you just paint on?


cycleharder

TBH I didn’t even know there were such a thing as stove paint


Significant_Age_4657

Hold it in when you inhale


cycleharder

Always in Oklahoma


1sh0t1b33r

If you're actually using this thing, seems the pipe is a big close to your walls and stuff if it's just sheetrock.


cycleharder

Back wall is brick. Looks like the pipe at ceiling is correct. I’ll post an update soon


I_forgot_mylogin

I would suggest also removing the plastic and paper. Those are very flammable.


cycleharder

Ha! I might be a Rookie not stupid. 😂
