Yes. That type of application is exactly what this paint is intended to be used for.Remember that the most important ingredient for a good result is to do proper prep work. i.e. Make sure you remove all loose paint (just as Marcus BIggins said) and sand all contact surfaces to provide a slightly rough surface to insure a good bond. Also, it wouldn't hurt to go over the surface with a soft rag dampened with paint thinner in order to make sure any surface oil (from cooking) is removed. Afterwards take care to properly dispose of the paint thinner soaked rag(s) because rags that have had paint thinner (or any oil) on them can self combust and start a fire in your house. Yes.

Haven't tried "covering" rust with it. You need to clean off rust (I used emery cloth) before applying the Krylon. It worked great for me that way. Always prep, no matter what you paint. Good luck.

I sanded down the old RustOleum paint and used IdeaPaint. IdeaPaint works as designed. I've had it for about 18 months now and it still works great.

I tried to do a similar project. Next time I said I would use paint designed for the project! Not only is it hard to get even paint, it takes a lot of effort to heat set it. Hope you have better outcome if you decide to do this!

Yes, heater is in a pretty harsh environment. So every spring when I bring it in for storage I wire brush and give it a coat of Rustoleum. Helps keep the pitting of the raw aluminum surface to a minimum.

Yes especially if it is an alloy box but if the box is made of wood you might want to seal and prime it with the high temperature primer first and make sure that there are no cracks before you go over it with the rust oleum high temp paint, for best results!

I'm sorry I can't help. I purchased it to cover the windows in my camper to reflect the heat away. Maybe you could call and ask a plumbing shop.

Its just paint, so should work. Just remember there are different shades of white. So use sparingly and try a small place first.

Based on my limited experience, I think it is a wonderful primer for rusted metal. I mostly use it for rough exterior jobs...iron gates, fences, chairs. I find all the spray paints from places like Lowe's or Ace stick to it. Anything you paint should be free of oil, wax, or grease. For body work I think the standard primers are probably better.

No, this is strictly for maintaining the shine and luster on chrome components. You want to use a rust eliminator for prepping metal for paint. Possibly a primer to do so.

You bet. It is probably one of the best types of paint you could use if your stuff is getting rusty. It is a pretty flat paint though so you could use this as a base for a couple coats and then some nice shiny paint. Do that once and it will be good until you are pushing up daisies.

Sure, if it is fiberglass. This product is not designed for paint on metal.

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.

Well it's a paint product - so if you can paint it you can use it. I'm not sure you will like the results - it's really just a sparkly grey paint. I'm happy with it as I updated an old harvest yellow refrigerator - but that's about it. Sparkly grey paint.

It's not a hi gloss but this pint does not cover good at all. I would try to get a hi temp in rustoleum paint

At first it will be a little "tacky" but once you melt and brush and let it set, it's fine. Maybe on extreme heat, like a hot radiator , there might be a little melt

Sorry, I can't answer your question. I used this on gold curtain rods and it worked great and the color looked great too. I would get ahold of them (the manufacturer of Rust-Oleum) directly. Good Luck! If it could handle the heat...think about how many gold fireplace units could be updated as a DIY...WOW!
