Mipa silicone remover in liquid format is the main cleaning choice for larger steel surfaces, while the spray is useful for smaller details, seams and awkward shapes before sanding or coating.
Guided shopping for stove and flue pipe paint
Stove pipe and flue pipe need a clean steel surface and a true high heat coating, because normal decorative coatings cannot cope with repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Mipa silicone remover in liquid format is the main cleaning choice for larger steel surfaces, while the spray is useful for smaller details, seams and awkward shapes before sanding or coating.
MP Hand Block Soft helps abrasive paper follow round pipe, curved stove surfaces, trim edges and shield profiles without cutting flat spots into the metal.
Mipatherm liquid coating is suited to larger steel surfaces that need a heat resistant silver or black finish and controlled application by brush or spray equipment.
Mipatherm Spray 400 ml is the quick aerosol method for smaller heat loaded steel parts, detail areas and local repairs in matt black or silver.
Work only on a fully cool pipe. Remove loose paint, rust, scale and soot so the new high heat coating bonds to firm metal.
Use Mipa silicone remover or the spray format to remove grease, oil and contamination. Clean again after sanding so dust and residue do not sit under the coating.
Use MP Hand Block Soft with suitable abrasive paper to key sound metal and feather any remaining firm paint edge without gouging the shape.
Use Mipatherm or Mipatherm Spray in thin, even coats. Heavy wet coats make heat coatings more vulnerable to bubbling, slow curing and surface marks.
Allow the painted pipe to dry before heat exposure, then bring the temperature up gradually during the first use with good ventilation.
The liquid Mipatherm format is the better method when the part is too large for efficient aerosol work or when a more deliberate brush or spray equipment application is preferred.
Mipatherm Spray suits pipe sections, trims, shields and hard to reach edges where thin, even coats from a can are practical.
Standard decorative or automotive paint is not the right finish for metal that becomes very hot during use; use the high heat coating method instead.
Paint a small test area on old stove pipe first when old coating remains firmly attached. The test area shows whether the surface is clean, keyed and compatible before the full pipe section is coated.
