Hey Folks,
I am in need of some help to find some High Heat Resistant Black Paint. Hopefully some Flat Black Paint it is easier to hide some blemishes with it. Hopefully in Canada. Better yet in Nova Scotia. Tremclad and Rustoleom only has their largest sizes up to quart cans. I am figuring it would be much cheaper to either buy by the gallons or a five gallon bucket. I have seen some gallons of paint in the USA but by the time the shipping by UPS gets added, the shipping is as much as the cost of the gallon of paint and then there will most likely be other charges on top of that. So that is a bust. Any other ideas folks. What about the automotive industry do they have anything in the high heat resistant paints in the body shops?
Thanks,
Raymond

Could try looking into heat paint for wood stoves. Auto paint for engines also. Question is what will the shipping cost you? Check local body shops or stove retailers. I'm sure they be able to get sum from their suppliers. May save you on shipping.

There is a store that deals with stoves, I will try them and the auto body shops in the area tomorrow. There has to be something I can buy more local. I had an idea of doing that tomorrow, today was a slow day for me.
Thanks,
Raymond

I just found a possible line on a paint called Rustoleum. It is sold by a few different stores in Nova Scotia. Closest one is a drive of 2.5 hrs but I do have a connection there. It is a Home Depot Store. I searched and searched and always before with Rustoleum it was a quart or a spray can. I found the direct home page and it sent me in the right direction. I will find out this morning if it is going to be a good connection. I f not I will go to see the body shop at Tusket Ford.
Thanks,
Raymond

You need a high heat paint, for like chimney paint or BBQ paint. Even a high heat manifold car paint. If you have a Kerr Smart Energy near by you, go talk to them. If they won't sell it to you I will get a phone call or fax sent out and they will then. Let me know if you do. But a 5 gallon jug will cost alot more than the whole smoker cost you.

But if you build it right you will be able to rent it out to recoup some money and perhaps some day make some money with it. I rent pig roaster every year for our motorcycle show and shine and it costs me $100. a weekend.

I think you will find that any heat resistant automotive high temp paint normally requires heat to set up.

Raymond:
You will have to remove all the old paint first and get down to bare metal.
Then prime as well for good adhesion.
Paint goes a long way and some need a primer and some don't.
A good primer will cost as much or more than the paint however you will end up using less paint.
I would buy a liter at a time as this will save the amount of paint you will have left over.

If you are going to spray paint then you will need a thinner as well.

You may also check into some paints meant for barn roofs. I don't know how hot a metal barn roof gets during the summer, but I do know that it's hot enough that you don't want to be near one!

It may turn out that the paint isn't high temp enough, but still, you don't know until you check into it.

Hey Folks,
I have found the Tremclad Paint but only by the quart, if I buy 4 quarts they will sell it to me for $17 a quart which is equal to $68 plus tax. I found an industrial grade Rustoleum paint sold by the gallon which is cheaper than the Tremclad. I can buy that for $42 a gallon plus tax which is $29.90 cheaper. I will have to check into both of those.

Cool. Good deal. It will stick good to metal. Did you tell them it is going on a wood fired smoker and ask what's the warrenty on that?
