Rustins High Heat Black Paint

Rustins High Heat Paint is a fast-drying, solvent-based, decorative coating specially formulated to withstand extreme temperatures up to 600°C. Designed for surfaces exposed to intense heat, it delivers long-lasting protection while providing a sleek, modern matt finish.

Touch dry in just 15 minutes, it offers outstanding resistance to typical barbecue heat and even the roaring temperatures of a fireplace, conditions that rarely exceed 540°C.

• Heat resistant up to 600°C
• Fast drying - touch dry in approximately 15 minutes
• Solvent-based formulation for maximum durability
• Matt finish for a clean, stylish appearance
• Suitable for wood-burning stoves, barbecues, grates, and other high-heat surfaces
• Supplied as a 400ml aerosol for easy, even application

Rustins High Heat Paint provides superior performance where it matters most, protecting and enhancing surfaces exposed to extreme heat.

Ensure the best possible adhesion and performance by preparing the surface thoroughly.

• The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, rust, and all other contaminants.
• Remove all rust using a scraper, wire brush, or treat the surface with Rustins Rust Remover for more stubborn corrosion.
• This product should be applied only to bare metal.
• Do not apply over previously coated or painted surfaces.

Proper preparation will ensure a clean, stable base for a durable and long-lasting finish.

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Stir the paint well before use, ensuring no sediment remains at the bottom of the tin.
• Apply using a bristle paint brush for best results.
• The paint can be sprayed, but may require thinning with Xylene Thinners.
• Apply only one light coat.
• Applying a heavy coat or multiple coats may cause the paint to flake when exposed to heat.
• Touch dry: approximately 15 minutes
• Handleable: after 1 hour in good drying conditions
• If air dried, the coating will become fully cured only after heating the painted item to 200-220°C for about 20 minutes.
• Do not apply additional coats. The product is designed for single-coat application only.
• Do not apply below 10°C or in high humidity.

Follow these instructions to achieve a durable, heat-resistant, long-lasting matt finish.

Maintenance

If recoating becomes necessary, the previous coat must be fully removed before applying fresh paint. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents flaking.

Settlement

Always stir well before use to redisperse any settled material and ensure an even finish.

Shelf Life & Storage

• Shelf life: 2 years from the date of manufacture.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or sources of heat.
• After use, replace the lid immediately and ensure it is tightly sealed to maintain product quality.
• The product may still be usable after its shelf life, but always check for any signs of deterioration, such as thickening, separation, or unusual odour, before use.

Proper care and storage will help maintain optimal performance and extend the usability of the product.
