Blast cleaning to achieve an appropriate surface profile is the best method of preparation for stainless steel, however as Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C is for general/consumer use and not professional or industrial applications we can assume that in the majority of instances blast cleaning will not be achievable. The principle of requiring a profiled surface to assist in the adhesion of the paint system remains, and so preparation advice for smaller projects that still wish to attempt it would be as follows; If necessary, clean the surfaces with a dry brush, mop or dust cloth after a minimum of one month after coating The surface to be painted must be clean, dry and sound and the temperature of the air/surface should be a minimum of +10°C with a relative humidity of below 80%

We must stress the importance that this abrading process actually results in a profiled surface that can be seen by eye and felt by fingertips. Trying to achieve such a surface onto stainless steel will require extensive effort and it must be noted that this will still not ultimately equal product performance which would be achieved by the blast cleaning method referenced above. The variable porous structure of the surface to be painted and moisture and temperature variations during paint application and drying may cause diversity of colour Remove dirt, grease, oil, loose rust and all other surface contaminants by appropriate means. Sand intact coatings to roughen the surface slightly. The surface must be clean and dry during application.To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1. It is recommended to wait for at least two weeks before the treated surfaces are put into use to ensure the product reaches the heat durability requirements Once dry, the surface should now be prepared to paint over with a suitable topcoat. If your fireplace still functions then you will require a heat-resistant primer and topcoat, such as Tikkurila Murri.

Can be applied on new, bright or shot-blasted steel or well pre-treated coated surfaces such as barbecues, boiler fittings, hot air cannons, exhausts, etc. Intended for small maintenance jobs and repairs, providing protection up to a dry heat of 750°C (short term peak load) for applications indoors or in a sheltered outdoor environment. A new type of heatproof paint for fireplaces and firewalls exposed to higher-than-normal temperatures. Muuri ensures a breathable surface that is heat resistant up to 300°C (in standard white) and 180°C (in its 8 tinted colours), protecting the walls surrounding your fireplace or stove with a striking finish. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased using Rust-Oleum Pre-Paint Cleaner, followed by hand or machine abrasion to impart a scratch pattern to the surface. Use non-metallic abrasives, bonded fibre machine or hand abrasive pads - Do not use high speed rotational sanders. The paint products offered here will not provide any increase in protection or resistance to the surfaces they are applied to. They simply provide a decorative finish that can withstand high temperatures that normal paints would not be able to tolerate. Using a normal paint to decorate these kinds of areas is not recommended as it can result in discolouration, failure by flaking/peeling/blistering, odours being omitted, and potentially creating a fire hazard.If the fireplace is active then you will need a paint to resist temperatures that are higher than a normal, decorative topcoat can handle, such as our fireplace surround paints that perform up to 300°C. Surface defects and loose pointing should be filled in, with any visible signs of organic growths treated with mould remover.

PaintWell increased its Industrial Paints offering with the acquisition of Promain UK Limited, the preferred UK distributor for many of the world’s leading paint and surface coatings manufacturers. Only apply if the air and surface temperatures are between 5 and 35°C and the relative humidity is less than 85%. The temperature of the coated surface must be at least 3°C above the dew point. When it comes to colour, the current most popular options are white and grey paint for an ultra modern and clean look, ideal for frequently changing rooms. A paints finish will affect the overall appearance, feel, and durability of your paint, so it’s important to understand the differences to achieve your desired aesthetic. Matt paint has a non-reflective finish, chalk paint has a matt, shabby-chic finish, while eggshell paint is low-sheen and durable. Additionally, satinwood paint has a subtle sheen and is great for interior woodwork, while gloss paint is high-shine and ideal for exterior woodwork and metal surfaces. Painting a fireplace surround isn't a complicated task, as long as you follow manufacturer instructions and application guides. Preparation is always key to painting any surface - and it certainly applies when you paint a fireplace surround.All metal surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and other contaminants that could affect adhesion. Use a degreaser before de-rusting. Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C, heat resistant coatings based on a silicone modified alkyd resin. Coverage is affected by the roughness and porosity of the surface as well as the application method and conditions Free sachet delivery is available on all Rust-Oleum sachets. These are shipped direct from the manufacturer using Whistl. Can take 5-10 working days.

Practical consumption depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application. To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.Self-priming, Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C should not be applied on primers or coatings, which are not heat resistant. Tikkurila Muuri is a heat-resistant breathable paint recommended for use on firewalls, fireplaces and similar interior wall surfaces where the surface temperature may rise above normal. Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour Laying down sheets around the area will catch any dirt, soot, and ash deposits as you clean the surface prior to painting, protecting your carpets or wood floors. Mask areas with tape that you don't want to be painted, and then prepare the surface of your fire surround depending on the substrate:
