BotusBuild Posted March 26 Posted March 26 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?
Nickfromwales Posted March 26 Posted March 26 VHT (Very High Temperature) paint is used on exhausts and the such, so start there.
Beau Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) 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 Edited March 26 by Beau

Wonder if they have it gun metal grey
crispy_wafer Posted Thursday at 13:14 Posted Thursday at 13:14 Back in the day, we used to use hotspot black grate polish to rub into the castings. The rust would only ever be surface dusting of corrosion on the old hunter and Dunsley’s and would pretty much disappear when rubbing a finger over it. 1
FarmerN Posted Thursday at 13:29 Posted Thursday at 13:29 Googleing "log burner stove polish" brings up a range of products. Back in the days, I'm sure we had "Stove Black" no idea what it was.

BotusBuild Posted Friday at 09:17 Author Posted Friday at 09:17 Stiff bristle pan brush tried and to be replaced by wire brush after Contura dealer have been contacted. They also do their own "repair" spray paint. A bit more expensive than the general stove paint.
