Using the stovebright range of colours you can quite easily change your stove from black into a wide range of colour options. We are able to paint the top door, bottom door and airflow wheel in an array of colours. If you would like to paint the whole body of your stove, or need to touch up the paint on your stove then follow this step by step guide!
Good preparation and follow the instructions
- The process of effectively colouring your stove is very similar to most other paint finish applications and full instructions are written on the side of each 400ml stove paint tin.
- Several light coats will produce a better finish than one very heavy application.
- Three 400ml tins of Stovebright stove paint are sufficient to spray a complete Hobbit stove.
- Both the stove and the stove paint are designed to be applied at room temperature (20‐25 Celcius) so both should be stored at this temperature for a minimum of 3 hours prior to the start of the spraying.
- The existing painted surface of the stove should be given a rub over with the very fine emery or sand paper to give the stove paint a key to adhere to.
- The stove should then be cleaned off using the dry cloth. With the stove and a can of stove paint well mixed and brought to room temp. you are ready to begin colouring your stove. Remember to angle the direction of the spray to hit all of the surfaces whilst maintaining the desired distance from the stove if possible for best results.
