FAQs
What surfaces can I use this heat resistant paint on?
This paint is suitable for use on both metal and wood surfaces, for both interior and exterior applications.
Can I use this paint on a wood burning stove?
No, this paint is specifically not for use on wood burning stoves due to the extreme temperatures they reach.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Being a water-borne paint, you can easily clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with water.
Is this paint safe for indoor use?
Yes, its low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content makes it a more suitable and safer choice for interior projects, contributing to better indoor air quality.
What does 'water-borne' mean?
'Water-borne' means that water is used as the primary solvent for the paint. This typically results in easier cleanup with water, lower odor, and reduced VOC emissions compared to solvent-based paints.
What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?
Info needed: The product description does not specify the maximum temperature this paint can withstand. For specific temperature ratings, please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of grease, dust, or loose material before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. If on bare metal, consider using an appropriate primer first.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Apply thinner, even coats of paint. Avoid overloading the brush. Ensure adequate drying time between coats. Using a high-quality brush or roller designed for water-borne paints can also help.
Paint is taking too long to dry.
Ensure the paint was applied in thin coats. High humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Ensure good ventilation in the application area. Avoid applying in excessively humid or cold conditions.
Paint appears dull or lacks expected heat resistance.
Ensure the paint has fully cured as per manufacturer's recommendations (if provided) before exposing to heat. Verify that the application is not on a wood burning stove or other extremely high-temperature surface for which it is not intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, rust, or loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key for adhesion. For bare metal, an appropriate primer may be beneficial.

- Incompatible Use: DO NOT use on wood burning stoves or surfaces that will be exposed to direct flames or extreme temperatures exceeding the paint's resistance (specific rating *Info needed*).
Care
- Brush Cleaning: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water. For dried paint, a suitable brush cleaner may be required.
- Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
