Was it called "Stove Black"? It's still on the market.

Penni,
Years ago we painted a coal stove with paint that could withstand high
temps. Sorry I don't recall the name of the product. You might inquire at
some wood/coal burning stove stores.

Thanks for that Bill. I was beginning to think I had not only touched off a
HUGE debate but that I was going nuts looking at my rusty kiln. I may be
lots of things but stupid about what rust is, I ain't!
Indeed my Amaco _is_ painted steel and is in fact green (where it's not
rusty mind you!). I have a stainless kiln I bought used from a friend that I
have yet to afford kiln shelves etc. for and it is certainly NOT rusty.
Really, all I wanted to know was... if I could get rid of the rust (which I
do occasionally with a shop vac only) can I then paint it with BBQ paint.
Thinking that the BBQ paint would withstand the heat that gets out to the
top of the kiln lid area.
I think I got my answer a few times over and thanks to all for that. I shall
hop to the Home Depot this week to check out their supplies.

Penni,
In London Ontario Canada, where the fall weather has finally arrived and it
is cool and crisp in the mornings (not that I am a morning person mind you
but I like the fall) =o)

Not as hot as old-style wood stoves. I
think stove/BBQ paint would be OK.

Yes, I think it was called Stove Black.... however my husband thinks it will
not take kiln temperatures.
A search online will get you several sites such as:
http://www.fresnobee.pointshop.com/Mall/Catalog/Product/ASP/product-id/20567
7/store-id/1000010991.html
goes to 1200 degrees
There may be ones that go to higher temps.
How hot does the outside of a kiln get???

Really freakin' hot!!!!! was my first response when I read this question.
Honestly I don't know, but it's hot enough I would not want to touch it! I
just figured a BBQ might get as hot as the outer edge of my kiln....I may be
wrong (it's been known to happen).
I have yet to get myself to the local Home Depot (waiting for pay day) but
when I do...... rest assured I will fill y'all in on what I found. (cause I
know y'all are just dyin' to find out). =o)

sitting inside the house while hubby watches the 3 yr old outside driving
the battery operated jeep (he's doing laps around the neighbour's house with
their son in his own jeep - it's a regular Daytona 500 out there!!!!!!)

Penni, try some of the Stove Black or whatever the other trade name of
the black BBQ pit paint that comes in a spray can. THey have it at the
Despot.
