Stove Bright 6309 Metallic Black

Update - we are one month into burning season and the paint had many heating cycles to cure. The insert was dusty, so I did the usual wet cloth wipe down when cool. That first wiping removed a bit of the extra rough texture and sparkle - now it's perfect. Great texture and the metallic sparkle no longer reaches Disney princess levels. 5 stars. Bought this to repaint the surround on a Pacific Energy Neo 2.5 insert. After 8 years of use, the surround was looking a bit scratched and tired. I first tried a regular matt black spray paint - doesn't match PE for color or texture at all. Then I read a review of this paint and someone said it was a 'perfect' match for Pacific Energy Neo. So I thought I would try it. I also read reviews of the bad spray tip on the can - and to switch out the tip. After resanding the surround and cleaning it with acetone - I painted. I also warmed up the paint can in hot water and shook it vigorously for a long time. The can does spit! I tried a different tip and then switched back to the tip that came with the can - it spits drops with both tips. I freaked out and almost decided to wipe the surround with acetone and start again. But then I decided to let that first coat dry. Those drops self-leveled and I kept on with a 2nd and then 3rd coat with the one can. Finally, on the 3rd and last coat, it spit one more drop. Then I immediately stopped, let it dry for a bit and basically applied a light 4th coat to ad texture to the area with the drop. That drop didn't totally level - and it's just barely noticeable. Matter of fact I think I'm the only one that can see it because I know where it is. My little secret. Overall the color is a very good - but not perfect - match to Pacific Energy. The texture is rough - a lot of flecks to break up the texture and diffuse the light. It looks very matt - and we think it's attractive. The only thing to note is that it's very metallic - any more sparkly and it would be a Disney princess stove. Overall - would recommend and am glad we did the project. Metallic Black color

I needed to touch-up my Pacific Energy Neo insert (Metallic Black) and repaint the surround which the fireplace installers had mistakenly painted flat black. I prepped the surround with fine sandpaper and acetone (beware, acetone takes this paint right off - do not let rag touch areas that you are not prepping). I used lots of light coats, 3-5, spraying from 12" out on the surround. The insert door only took a coat or two. If you spray too heavy or close, you will get drips and need to start over. Take your time and keep your coats light. You don't need to allow much time between coats. Mask everything well, including the hearth. I draped plastic from my mantle to make a tent and keep fumes from dispersing, then held my breath while spraying. I also kept the windows open. If you can't take similar measures, I suggest a 3M half-face respirator and organic vapor cartridges. When I was done, it looked great, like factory paint.

I used this to refurbish an old barbecue grill. I have since grilled and haven't found any damage to the paint, so it withstands heat just as stated. I'm very happy with this purchase and may get more just in case I need to touch up. One can painted a barrel grill with an attached smoker and chimney- I couldn't use it on the legs but I'll just use plain paint for that part.

If just rating the final result, this would be five-star. Bought this to paint shiny stainless steel stove pipe the same color as our new Drolet wood stove, and it looks fantastic. After reading the other reviews I decided to buy extra paint can nozzles, and they were needed, as we went through 13 total nozzles using 3 cans of paint (no joke). This paint clogs nozzles constantly.

We were given my dad's old wood stove when he passed away. It was made in 1980, the year I was born. He left it to me knowing I would take the time to restore it to all it's beautiful glory. It's not the light weight ones of today. It needed a lot of work inside and out. We started by gutting it and replacing the baffle board and fire bricks. Then came the decision of color and what product to use. We landed on this paint because of the great reviews others had left. I was not disappointed. Love the color and the quality. We cured the paint and opened up the house to let any fumes escape. It didnt take long and it was cured. Love, love the paint with all of the little metallic flakes. It's just the right amount of pizzazz my dad would have appreciated. Wish he could have been here to see it restored.

I have very good luck with this paint with no issues like clogged nozzles like some reported. It is a little tricky to apply to get he metallic right. Keeping the nozzle 12 inches away and applying very light coats was the trick. If it was applied too heavy the metallic does not stay on the surface. Once I got the application dialed in the final result came out great! It make my old insert look like new.

Even after shaking, nothing came out.

Match the metallic (I would call grey) of the pellet stove I bought at TSC years ago. I had some spots on top of the stove that needed painted, and it match very well.
