The paint bakes off the firebox every time you use it. Is there a high temp paint that actually works?

I used Krylon's High Heat Max paint and it has held up well. http://www.krylon.com/products/high-heat-max/?gclid=CJDawZWX2b8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA You have to remember to prep the surface first or it won't adhere correctly and you will need to reapply after the first use.

I use a rustolium paint that is high heat to 2000 degrees. I did two coats and has held up for 4 months so far. You can buy the paint at walmart for 7 or 8 dollars. Hope this helps

I have had the grill for over a year and sometimes I cook directly on the grill and sometimes I cook on aluminum foil - and both methods are great. I have not noticed any issues with paint getting on food. The only times paint has come off is when I've cleaned the grill. It really is a great product, we love it!

VHT sprays better than any "rattlecan" paint I have ever used. Paint stainless steel? Why? But if you have to, this is as good a high temp paint as there is. You need to prime with high temp primer too after cleaning and scuffing with 400 grit paper.

The only way we have used it is over a camp fire (above the coals) just be sure to have plenty of liquid to keep it from boiling dry.....to keep it from dis-coloring apply a thin coat of dish soap on the outside...that works great to keep it looking new

I run mine from 800-900 degrees and the paint on the i side of the webber lid started to flake off. Just hit it with a paper towel and it comes right off with no problems. I have used it for two years now and my grill is still fine.

A wooden oven door? That's interesting. I suspect the Thermo-Tec will not stick well to wood. Perhaps you could paint the wood first with a high temperature paint. After the paint dries, apply the Thermo-Tec to the paint.

Any plastic paint (like plasti dip) that resists a little heat would do. Just make sure it's made for plastic.

We built a frame under our mantle and set bricks around it to look real, but you have to have a vent coming out in case the heat gets turned on. If there is no vent it will cause a fire

Possibly ask the manufacturer? I know this is months late and I apologize for neglecting the email. I don't think it is a terribly high temp, but I wouldn't touch it with bare skin. It melted the stencil material that I bought to use with it just fine; I'm thinking it's in the ballpark temperature of a wood-burning pen, but I don't know how many degrees that is.

I am not sure if this paint is heat resistant. I would assume it is and it is reasonable in cost so it could be worth an experiment. The bottle does not say it is heat resistant. If you want a guaranteed heat resistant paint, I would use Pebeo "Vitrea 160". This is a glass stain that can be baked in the oven to make it heat resistant. Your heat from the lightbulbs would serve as the heating source, thus becoming permanent. It is also a high quality paint and so it costs more.......but you get what you pay for.

The firestarter can not be ruined unless it is forcefully damaged. It is not affected by water and work perfectly once dried.

I have only had luck with that when there is nothing between the grill and the fire. It takes no time at all and you have to be very careful not to over cook the meat.Vince

I would imagine you can - using a template cut out to avoid overspray and 'high temperature' spray paint made for painting bbq grills...

I haven't had any issues with it coming off. I believe the use the same kind of paint that's used on BBQ's.

I haven't had that problem. The paint on this grill is holding up nicely for me.

So far, no. It doesn't seem like the paint could come off.I like this thermos very much. REALLY keeps things hot or cold. Lightweight too.

No, yes you will have to burn off the cheap paint first before you ever use this on a camping trip. Then paint it with the high temperature paint for barbecue grills. You can get from Lowes or Home Depot. But back to the tent itself, the material itself is only fire resistant and could start to melt or catch fire especially if it has been sprayed with a water proofing spray. And I would guess this tent doesn't have a stove jack in the roof either.
