Just found a great deal on a Hearthstone Heritage soapstone wood stove. The only bad thing about it is that the trim is 1990's blue porcelain. Is there a high temperature paint to repaint over porcelain?

Re: How to paint a porcelain wood stove

Going to take a look at that stuff Bob. Looks like it might work if this is a porcelain stove. I am going to contact Hearthstone next week and find out if the 1990's models were porcelain. Yea Ga_boater, the new ones are enamel. This one I am looking at sure looks like porcelain......I hope it is enamel, sure would make painting easier. Thanks for looking that up. :)

Hey Cofe, a good enamel job should look like porcelain. I think you have a good chance it is enamel. Porcelain is kinda fragile, but hopefully Hearthstone will/can help you out.

If it is porclen enamal can't be painted easily as paint doesn't stick to glass.

high temp paint 600+ will work getting the colour you want could be the challange ..... you have to shoot {spray cans} then heat it up for at least half hour ....I do headers with it in black no problem heating them up...worth some thought
