Painting wood burner

[BotusBuild]

Following a water leak, we have a log burner that has developed a patina of rust on the door and frame.

 

We're going to give it a gentle clean to start with to see what the extent of the problem, thinking it's likely just surface rust from the moisture that was in the air. 

 

Is there a paint that anyone can recommend once the rust is removed?

VHT (Very High Temperature) paint is used on exhausts and the such, so start there.

Black stove paint is widely available.

 

Our local farm shop even stocks it (least they used to) and they have a branch in Liskeard which might be close to you? Mole Valley Farmers
