Rust on a wood stove.

[First-light]

I stored my old wood stove on my porch when it was replaced. It is getting installed in the barn tomorrow. I noticed some rust on the finish.  Any suggestions on how to fix it? Typical flat black finish. Thanks FL

You need to use a high heat paint if you want it to last.

As mentioned above there is a special high temp paint for stoves, I did my old charcoal smoker a couple of years ago and it has held up fine. Take a wire brush to the rust and get as much as possible off before applying your paint.

I used a "scotch brite pad" and rough the surface up and get off any old rust areas and use either high temp paint or stove polish...

They canceled the install today because of the weather. Might give me a chance to paint it before they come next week.

Just make sure its around 55-60 degrees when you paint it. Helps with adhesion

I use the stove black if the surface is being used to cook or heat water on in pans and such. The paint I found scrapes off very soon and the stove black seems to endure the use better. Also, the stove black is easily applied over small areas to "touch up" surfaces.

For show the high temp paint looks really nice when evenly applied and sprayed on....
