80 Hi-Temp Spray Paint, Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Black, 12

This high temperature spray paint has proven to be an excellent choice for high-temperature applications. I used it to refresh my grill and fireplace, and the results have been outstanding. The paint applies smoothly and evenly, providing a sleek and durable black finish that withstands high heat without any issues. One of the best features of this spray paint is its ability to resist chipping and peeling, even under intense heat. This durability ensures that the finish remains intact and looking great for a long time. The spray nozzle is well-designed, offering good control and minimizing overspray, which makes the application process straightforward and mess-free. There is a small downside which is the strong odor during application, so it's essential to use it in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. However, this is a common issue with most spray paints and doesn't detract from the overall performance. I believe this "Hi-Temp" spray paint delivers a high-quality, long-lasting finish for any high-temperature surfaces. Its durability and ease of application make it a top choice for anyone needing reliable high-heat paint. I would highly recommended for its excellent results.

Used this paint to paint the brick and tile around the opening of my kiva style fireplace. The paint covers really flat and beautiful but it is extremely noxious. If you are using it I recommend a respirator and if you are indoors, do it while you can open doors and windows.

I rarely leave a review because most things I know what I’m buying and too lazy to do so. I researched various options to paint the inside brick in my fireplace. Note my fireplace has issues and I don’t burn in it …so this was for aesthetics but I also wanted functionality if the issues were resolved. The 1200 material is watery like cheap wall paint but I wanted that as I have many cracks/ porosity challenges. It went on and covered in one coat. I used about 1/2 of the small pint can and used a cheap 2 inch brush. Not a foam brush. It looks great after 1 coat. Like the flat black finish. I might go over a few areas that I missed but they are so minor I would not have to. But honestly I’m super impressed with the single coat coverage. It does have a strong smell so open the window. I knew that from the other reviews but knowing this was a one time thing it was fine. It’s like cleaning the oven. Yup it stinks but how often do you do that job.

I used this paint to refinish my 22 year old gas fireplace, which was in our house when we bought it, and was essentially neglected for a long time. In this process I learned that gas fireplaces rust on the inside as a result of the combustion products from natural gas, so they should be cleaned and repainted often. This paint produces a solid, flat black finish on the metal surface that looks great, but the application process is tricky. I found that the paint was like trying to paint with glue or honey - it was thick and sticky and did not easily brush out on the surface. It also dried very quickly, even though it was in the 60s when I painted, making it impossible to smooth out brush marks. After it dried, it did level out somewhat, but it certainly isn't a dead smooth finish. I also found that a second coat seems to dissolve the first coat - a bit like shellac does, but without the nice smooth result. That's acceptable for the inside of a fireplace I guess, but probably not the outside. As a result I used almost the whole can to get adequate coverage - but perhaps that's the point. If you were using normal paint it would take perhaps half the can to get good coverage. So it did work for its intended purpose, but it wasn't an easy task. My advice is to do one thick, wet coat, as fast as you can. I found the smell OK, as long as the windows were open. Now a little about the price. One gallon of this stuff would cost $376(!), so it better work. I imagine we are paying such a high price for a paint that will cope with 1400 degrees. A new gas fireplace starts around $3500 (ridiculous for a sheet metal box, but that's another story) so this is way cheaper than that. In summary, I had to adjust my expectations a bit and be prepared to use a different approach to applying the paint. But it did get the job done. I wouldn't recommend it for a sooth surface that you want to get a perfect finish on, that's where you should use the aerosol version. You can save some money using the 1200 degree version of this paint, but the reviews aren't as good. I would buy this paint again, despite the issues - but at least I know how it works now and what to expect.

Was looking for a high heat paint that you could BRUSH on to a metal exhaust system. Yeah, I know, this stuff is for fireplaces, I get it. BUT...If you read the can, it can be applied on steel or stainless steel. Ah ha moment ! I found something ! Did some homework on Rutland's website, and yes it can be brushed onto exhaust systems. Rutland always made fantastic / versatile products. So, I followed the directions, blah,blah, and began brushing it on the exhaust system. First off, the fumes this paint gives off will give you brain damage ( just kidding...but they are BAD ). Make sure you are applying it in a well ventilated area. It dries super fast to a matte black. 2 or more coatings will require you to " bake" the paint for better adhesion. ( That's easy with an exhaust, just start the car and let it run a few minutes). Very thin paint, so it glides right on. A little goes far. Now, the can says it can tolerate up to 1400 degrees of heat. So, after all said and done, took car for a ride on the highway to get exhaust good and hot. Peeling began at the manifold down to the 1st catalytic converter. Everything after that was PERFECT ! Going to have to use 2,000 degree ceramic spray paint where the peeling occurred. All in all, it's a GREAT product

Painted Quadrafire wood stove after 19 years. Rutland brush on paint is about the best paint I’ve ever used. Preparation is key, removing rust and wiping down with ONLY laquer thinner as recommended on the label. Color, texture and coverage using 16 oz can was excellent. Looks original and brand new. Odor was high but went away same day after lighting stove. Gorgeous finish on the stove AND on the single wall stove pipe. Highly recommend.

After reading other reviews, I was nervous about my ability to paint the firebox using this paint. Would the paint be too sticky, not cover well, or give me permanent brain damage from toxicity? I arranged to have my dog stay offsite during the day so he wouldn’t be exposed to the fumes. Before starting to paint, I dressed in old clothes and donned a KN95 mask, latex gloves and onion goggles. I closed doors to other rooms, turned on overhead fans, opened windows and set up a box fan to create maximum air circulation. Prepping the firebox was completed the previous day. Finally I was ready to remove the lid of the paint. Well, yes, it had a strong odor, but luckily for me, it wasn’t overpowering. After stirring it, I began to apply the paint. First I tried a small natural bristle brush, but it didn’t spread well. Next I tried a foam brush, and that worked very well (thanks to the reviewer who suggested this). The paint spread across the bricks quite easily, but I had to paint the mortar and textured indentations separately with the side of a smaller foam brush, pushing the paint into cracks, crevices and corners. The foam brushes disintegrate quickly and I went through all 9 that were in the assorted set purchased at big box store for less than $10. The entire paint job took just over 1 hour. It took about 2/3 of the can. The can is very small and only narrow brushes can be used if applying the paint straight out of the can (which I did). After cleanup, I began airing out the house. I sprayed Febreze throughout the house and moved the fan around to blow through each of the closed off rooms (which still got the odor in them). It took 7 hours from the time I started painting until the air was sufficiently clear to bring my dog home. Overall, it was a very satisfactory experience, and I am happy with the results (see before and after photos; don’t worry, I’m replacing those ugly logs that look like reptiles—that’s the reason I painted the firebox in the first place). Note: I have not lit the fireplace since painting, so I don’t know if it will produce strong fumes. I’ll update the review once I know more.

Worked good, look nice.
