Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum Automotive 12 oz. High Heat Flat Black Protective Enamel Spray Paint

I bought this paint for my fire pit because it said it was rated for up to 2000 degrees, upon first time I used the fire pit the paint simply rubbed off. Do not buy this paint it is not worth the money, especially not for a fire pit!

Awesome product for my 2001 Ford F150 Lighting Project!!! Flores Auto Diagnostics & Repair

I spray painted an antique cast iron surround and summer cover. The thiught was that surround was potentially going to be exposed to high heat since the flame tempeature of natural gas is up there. I mainly went with this paint for its flat finish. It looked exacly as intended but despite days of dry time in climate control the paint kept rubbing off when touched. Running my hand across the surface turned my fingers black. I contacted rustoleum through their website and they replied within 24 hours stating “The High Heat Paint requires a heat cure at 450°F, for 1 hour, to cure and fully harden. Without a heat cure the product will be susceptible to scratching and may rub off.” Unfortunatly they suggested I sand or strip my entire priject to remove the pain and use their Stops Rust Protective Enamel paint instead. The instructions on the can did not call out the full cure procedure. Despite their promp customer service, Im unsatified by the lack of clarity in their product spec and description. Stripping the paint off of a large object thats already been treated with multiple products prior to painting is extremely frustrating and an added unexpected expense.

Used to paint a fireplace front. Went on easily and smooth. Hope it holds up.

Used it for my fireplace, and it looks lovey

Sprayed 3 coats on a brand new outdoor fire pit over the course of a week. First fire the paint peeled and flaked right off

Easy to use. Has correct pressure and a refined nozzle. Good spray pattern A well-charged can that makes me feel I got my money's worth. As opposed to some other brands (of aerosol paint), when using a proper spray technique I seldom exhaust the can before depleting its contents. (My most common concern is that others' aerosol paints are undercharged.) Rust-Oleum (I use their industrial primers and paints extensively at work - and about my house.) produces high quality consistent coatings with good solids / volatile proportions, dense pigmentation, yielding good coverage, tenacious adhesion and long wear. On a properly prepared surface, coated under the right conditions, I get the same results with this aerosol as I get with brushing, rolling or spraying the same product. Of course, for the convenience of aerosol, one pays a higher total price for equivalent coverage and DFT. Stands up well to the intended exposure. Survives better than many (supposed) VHT coatings. I recently coated the skirting (not the firebox) of one of my pellet stoves. The result convinced me to use this for all my future springtime refurbishments. I first began using this on ancillary engine compartment parts. So, having it available, I expanded my use to those stoves and similar applications.

As a contractor it works best for me. We use a lot of RustOleum products.

Did the job with no problems and easy blending

Worked incredibly well as a primer for a bicycle I'm painting

Easy to apply thin layers to refinish tired fireplace

It does not resist up to 200F let alone 2000F. I will never recommend nor buy this product again.

Too flat and dull finish for what I needed

Covers great with a single coat

Rustoleum is no longer recommending this product for use in open flame environments like fireplaces, BBQ an grills. Also, read instructions carefully this product must be heated, cooled and heated to be effective. So it may be good for auto, motorcycle, power equipment. Lastly, even Rustoleums other high heat product showing a BBQ on the can is NOT recommended by Rustoleum. Check out Rutland for open fire equipment.

Works great. Just make sure you prep whatever you are spraying well. MUCH CHEAPER "somewhere" else.

Painted a Grill cover! Looks good, time will tell.

I’m building a grill, and this works really well, I’m very happy with Home Depot

Works good! A little undersized by about an ounce for 2, but otherwise it works good! The spray tip spilled all over my hands and its taken nearly a week for the paint to wear off. Overall, I'm satisfied.
