Rustoleum High Heat Spray Paint Review
A few week’s ago I wrote a before and after post on using Rustoleum High Heat spray paint to refinish our fireplace ventilator. The results were great and I decided it was definitely worth singing the praises of Rustoleum in a separate post.
After three weeks of fires (about 8 total so far), the ventilator is still looking like the day it was sprayed. We even broke the rules a bit and used the paint on the area of the ventilator that is exposed to flame. Rustoleum says not to, and yes, we did it at our own risk. Even on the parts of the ventilator exposed to flame, the finish still looks great.
Rustoleum recommends their High Heat product for an array of applications, including grills and wood stoves. They do caution that the paint shouldn’t be used in areas that come in contact with food (like grill grates), or in direct contact with flames as I mentioned above. Application is fast: it took us only 10 minutes to refinish the ventilator.
If you’re looking to get the product online, Amazon sells the entire range of Rustoleum High Heat products. The first in the list is the BBQ Black Spray Paint that we used and were very happy with.
I looked around to see if other’s have had similar experiences with Rustoleum. House In Progress also had a great experience with Rustoleum paints, noting that Rustoleum’s website is very helpful for finding the right paint to solve a problem.
What do you think? Have you had a good experience with Rustoleum or another spray paint? Have you done any high heat restorations?

Glad it is working so well! We need to paint our grill… might try that first!

When I redid my previous condo’s half bath, it had a cheesy gold-plated fixture with three or four round bulbs–you know the kind–”dressing room” lights.
Anyway, we switched all the fixtures to silver/nickel, so instead of going out and buying a new fixture to match (it was a condo, for pete’s sake), I just roughed up the gold fixture and sprayed on some silver Rustoleum paint. I worked beautifully. You couldn’t even tell that it wasn’t silver to begin with, and it matched the nickel fixtures pretty much spot-on. I was really pleased.

Jocie did something similar with a few items in the bathroom. Roughed them up and sprayed with a bronze Rustoleum. I was really surprised how well they turned out.
