If you buy both you can put the paint on and predict when it'll burn off!!

Thanks for that, that's properly cheap, especially if it's not horrid matt half grey black!

The only only one I bother using comes from the range. Although I buy it direct in 5 litre tins...it's expensive but covers and looks good.

There is a guy on Facebook who does vdub barbies and he uses colours . Don't know what he uses though. I guess Aldi only have black in...

I've only seen stove paint at the range in 400mm aerosol. It's plastikote Projekt paint isn't it? I find I get a good finish with it but the ****** tins have a really stupid mechanism instead of a normal nozzle and I find at least one in three tins packs up before I've got even half of the contents out and I end up with paint all over my hands and a useless half full tin, it's infuriating to the extent that I won't buy it anymore unless its an absolute emergency. For colours, I've always used calfire, it's expensive though, and their range is a bit limited.

The range do all sorts in tins and cans or at least they used to...I get mine from the factory though.

I bought the Lidl version a couple of years back, handy thing to have for less than £20.

That link isn't cheap either though, £12.50 for a 450ml tin?

It's not cheap mine is 125 quid for 5 litres. But it sticks and covers and stays good for ages.

That aldi paint claims its 650 c, most stove paint is 300 c. The higher the temp the more expensive the paint. Stove top plates and flues can easily reach 250 / 300 c .

It would be top bargain if it is quality paint.

I've had one of mine so hot that my infrared thermometer spat the dummy and refused to register. That's over 500 c !

Got two tins of the paint today. Plenty on the shelves.

I resprayed bits of my 29kW boiler with the Aldi paint at the weekend. It's an exact match with the original Aarow/Stratford paint.

I used it on this:http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/gas-bottle-wood-burner-v4.54983/
Seems to give a good finish. I've yet to see how it stands up to heat

Been shopping again today so slipped another 2 cans into the trolley

 

[julianthegypsy]

Picked up four cans today. If I get a good finish I will be well pleased. I bought a can of stovax recently, well known brand and £8 a can but the finish was really awful. Matt is one thing, but matt with a grey finish on whats supposed to be black is something else, and something I can't live with.

Have got some of this, I have found once fired it does go matt black, a bit chalky looking but does the job

I've never made my mind up whether paint or black lead is the best option on stoves. Paint only lasts a stove season, and has to be cured and the stink burnt off over a few days at least, but blacking is a big dirty effort every week, but looks nice all year.
