Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, this low VOC formula offers easy clean-up with water, providing a durable black finish. However, users must note that **it is strictly not suitable for use on wood burning stoves** due to specific heat resistance limitations.
High-Quality Formula: A durable water-borne, cross-linking acrylic resin ensures excellent adhesion and a long-lasting finish.
Low VOC: Formulated with a low Volatile Organic Compound content, making it a more environmentally friendly choice and suitable for interior spaces.
Versatile Surface Compatibility: Can be effectively applied to both metal and wood substrates.
Interior & Exterior Use: Suitable for a wide range of projects, whether indoors or outdoors, providing robust protection against the elements.
Easy Clean-Up: Brushes and application tools can be easily cleaned with water, simplifying post-painting chores.
Heat Resistant: Engineered to withstand elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications where moderate heat is present (e.g., radiators, pipework).
Water-Borne Formula: Easier to work with and clean up compared to solvent-based paints.
Low VOC: Reduced fumes and environmental impact, better for indoor air quality.
High Versatility: Effective on both metal and wood surfaces, for interior and exterior applications.
Durable Finish: Cross-linking acrylic resin provides a tough, resilient coating.
Heat Resistant: Suitable for surfaces that experience moderate heat.
Specific Heat Limitation: Cannot be used on wood burning stoves, which is a crucial restriction for certain high-heat applications.

Rustins Heat Resistant Paint delivers a robust, attractive black finish designed for durability. Its water-borne nature ensures a smooth application with good flow and leveling, resulting in a professional-looking surface.
Metal Surfaces: Ideal for items like radiators, radiator pipes, metal railings, garden furniture, and automotive engine parts (where temperatures do not exceed the paint's specified heat resistance, which is generally lower than a wood stove). It provides protection against corrosion and enhances aesthetics.
Wood Surfaces: Can be used on wooden decorative items that are exposed to moderate heat, such as surrounds for non-wood-burning fireplaces (not directly on the firebox), or specific wooden components that require a heat-resistant coating for durability and protection. Its low VOC content makes it suitable for interior wooden items without strong odors.
Exterior Use: Excellent for outdoor metal or wood features that are subject to sunlight and weather, where a heat-resistant, durable black finish is desired.
This paint is particularly effective where a combination of moderate heat resistance, durability, and a low VOC footprint is required. Its black finish offers a classic and versatile look for various applications.
Proper preparation and application are key to achieving the best results and ensuring the longevity of Rustins Heat Resistant Paint.
Clean Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, loose paint, and rust. Use a suitable degreaser if necessary.
Sand: Lightly abrade glossy surfaces with fine-grit sandpaper to create a key for better adhesion.
Prime (Optional): While often not required for well-prepared surfaces, a suitable primer designed for metal or wood can be used for optimal adhesion and finish, especially on bare, porous, or heavily rusted metal. > Info needed: [Specific primer recommendations]
Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and color.
Apply with a good quality brush. Two thin coats are generally better than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats. > Info needed: [Specific recoat time and full cure time]
Suitable Surfaces: Metal, Wood
Environments: Interior, Exterior
Incompatible Surfaces: NOT FOR USE ON WOOD BURNING STOVES. This paint is not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures reached by direct combustion surfaces.
Brush Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately after use with clean water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, with the lid tightly sealed. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Cured Surface Care: Once fully cured, the painted surface can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed.
