Stove paint at Aldi

[visor_down]

Anyone found a decent stove paint, having got this aldi stuff proper hot it goes grey! Nothing like the finish it initially goes on as, which is a nice satin black.
Seen comment about stovax above, anyone know of one that stays black? The chalky grey finish is not great.

I found the stovax went grey right out of the can, I'd never buy it again! :-(

What about using the paint as undercoat and black lead polish on top ?

I've just done my stove with Rustins High Heat matt black. Only used the stove (using waste oil burner not wood) a couple of times but the paint seems to have stayed black. I had to order it from a local paint supplier and took a couple of days cost £9.00 for 250ml and it hardly used any to do the stove and flue.

The Aldi stuff on mine went on shiny black but cured to a matt very dark grey, which perfectly matched the matt dark grey of the original paint. It did seem a pain to have to light the boiler to get the paint to cure properly, when it was 25C and sunny outside, but I only had to run it for an hour or so to get it all to change colour which I took to indicate it had cured.
