1. What is JENOLITE Directorust BBQ & Stove Spray Paint used for?
This high-temperature spray paint is designed for surfaces exposed to extreme heat, such as BBQs, stoves, chimineas, fire surrounds, automotive exhausts, and other metal components. It provides a durable, heat-resistant, matt or metallic finish while offering corrosion protection.
2. What colours are available?
- Matt Black: Smooth, heat-resistant matt finish.

3. Can it be applied directly to rust?
Yes. The Directorust formula contains anti-rust properties and can be applied directly to light rust, eliminating the need for a separate primer.
4. What surfaces can I use it on?
Suitable for a wide range of materials, including:
- Metals (steel, iron, aluminium)
- Brick, cement, and plaster
- Ceramic surfaces
- Automotive components like exhausts and motors
5. How high a temperature can it withstand?
Up to 650°C, making it ideal for BBQs, stoves, chimineas, and other high-heat applications.
6. How do I prepare the surface?
- Ensure the surface is cool, clean, and free of grease or loose debris.
- Light rust can remain, but heavy rust or flaking paint should be removed with a wire brush or sandpaper.
