– Directorust BBQ & Stove Spray | BLACK | 400ml | High Temp Paint Up to 650°C | Barbecue, Stove, Chimineas, Wood Burner, Automotive, Fire Screens

Bought for a wood-burning stove that was needing a bit of a freshen up. Easy to work with. Flows well and coats in a fine mist. Surfaces prepped with wire wool and a bit of sandpaper, a couple of light coats gave a nice even and smooth finish. Covered in less than half a can for a couple of coats. Lower odour than other paints too. This was the second attempt following a terrible result using the big name brand beginning with 'R' a certain DIY chain sells. Night and day. No clogging, no streaks and runs, and no peeling and cracking when subjected to high temperatures. The finish is a properly flat matt. Actual colour I'd say is more towards a very dark grey than completely black, so maybe want to look out for that if looking to match existing paint, but it looks good on our stove. I don't leave reviews that often, but this is great stuff and deserves the good reviews.

Works well easy to use and gives a good finish.

Really good easy to use good quality paint Wish that I had got a gloss one though Works really well Great. Value for money

Brilliant. Used this product to cover tiles around a fireplace. Cleaned, sanded tiles first, then used a spray primer and finally several fine coats of Jenolite. Goes on beautifully smooth with no splashes or runs. Photos show after and before, showing a fantastic fire flip!

Excellent product. It has given my fireplace a deep matt black finish. I used it to paint the fireboards surrounding my wood burner. The coverage is amazing and if I had realised it was so good I would have ordered the smaller 250ml tin. As it is I now still have most of a 500ml tin left over. The fumes are pretty hefty so make sure you have a big window open and ideally create a through-draft by wedging open another door or large window. If you can’t do that I would recommend setting up a fan to blow the fumes away from you towards an open window.

Covers stonework inside fireplace well. 500ml tin just about did 2 coats. Be aware paint gives off extremely strong fumes. Doesn't say anything on tin but it needs white spirit to clean brushes etc

I chose this Jenolite product for it's reasonable price and the number of good reviews it had. The paint arrived very quickly and well packaged in a sturdy box. I will warn you from the off though, that the paint is extremely thin and runny so if you purchase a tin yourself be very careful upon opening the lid as the product can easily splash out and around and down the side of the tin.. (well it did in my case lol). Despite being thin, it actually covers quite well and I managed to completely cover a white background in just two coats (see photos). If painting indoors, use plenty of masking and splash covers as the paint spots can travel some distance. You will also need plenty of ventilation as the fumes are quite potent and strong. As a bonus though, drying time is very rapid with the first coat (in my case) drying in around 40 mins and with a second coat applied, it was completely dry after about one and a half hours. Why only a three star rating then?? Well, after reading all of the info on the side of the tin, I was left wondering whether I should be risking life and limb with this paint. A bit of an overstatement I know but the warnings are enough to frighten the life out of anyone, lol. But all joking aside, the biggest bugbear I have is the lack of information regarding cleaning the paintbrush after use! Nowhere on the tin does it state what is required for brush cleaning. I discovered this to my horror and disgust after I had applied a first coat. As the brush started to dry out between coats, I attempted to wash the brush in turps.. nope, turps doesn't touch it. Water perhaps, I thought.. nope, that also has no effect. I finally resorted to acetone which merely kept the brush soft but still didn't dissolve the product. So what on earth does it take to clean off this paint and why oh why isn't it stated on the tin?? I can only recommend the use of a disposable paintbrush with this paint which obviously negates the products reasonable purchase price!

GOES ON SMOOTHLY and looks good when completed.
