Arrgh - white stove top

Having received an Email from KBS support, the white enamel coating on the stove cannot be reproduced. Spraying your white paint I was told stains would discolor it. So for weeks I have been attentive to cleaning spill-over stains and the stovetop looks white & great.

Xtreme Aluminum

I have been using KBS produces for some years now, and I have always been impressed. This Xtreme Temperature Aluminum paint is outstanding. Went on great and dried quickly, but what impressed me was the match to vapor blasted aluminum. The attached picture shows a cast iron cylinder painted with Xtreme Temperature Aluminum next to vapor blasted aluminum engine cases and cylinder valve cover. I could not of asked for a better results. Thanks JOE

Antique cast iron wood burning stove

We started by sanding with a hand held power sander. Then we used KBS Clean and XTC Xtreme temperature clear gloss. The process was easy and took little time. We did try the Rust Blast also on a limited are and ultimately decided we didn’t like the look , but it was effective. The only small issue we had is that we needed to sand lightly again after the Clean product. We are very pleased with the results.

Amazing Results! Barrell Smoker Project

This smoker has been a long idea and dream of mine, with every detail thought of, after considering my options of coatings, I decided on using KBS, mainly due to a trusted friend who has used thier products, and man was right! I used every product he recommended and the results are amazing, well worth the price, as it easy to use, and has proven to withstand consistent high heat. I do believe the coverage per sprayable ounce KBS states is pretty accurate, but if you wanted stretch it out you probably could, but I probably wouldn’t recommend. I used the Zinc Coating, base color coat and clear coat. FANTASTIC PRODUCT

Awesome Product!

We had a tank that required a high heat paint. I bought the XTC high heat paint from KBS Coatings. After three days of prep work, it was time for painting. Instructions are crucial for a good job! Spraying wasn't an option, so foam roller covers were perfect! I highly recommend the XTC high heat paint from KBS Coatings!

Fireplace Refresh

I gave my fireplace a modern white makeover using KBS high temperature paint, encompassing even the firebox. While the application was easy, it dried to a beautiful matte finish. Note: there's a strong odor when wet, but it vanishes within a day after drying. I haven't used the fireplace since painting, but I trust its high-temperature claim. The result is visually appealing, making it both a decorative and practical choice for potential emergencies. I highly recommend this paint.

Eye POPPING RED

Very impressive concerning your Primer, Rocket Red, and Clear Gloss. I tried the VHT product before I researched to find KBS. The VHT burned off after a hour,and that was with curing it in a over for 45 minutes. The only thing I would improve on with KBS is the number of layer coats that a customer can apply. I laid down 4 of the Rocket and I have just a small amount of flaking and that's after 40 minutes in the over at 350 degrees. Very Pleased with the results.

Q: Could you use this paint on appliances such as a stove and refrigerator?

Asked by: susie - 9/5/2013

A: Yes, you can use XTC on high temperature (above 500 degrees F.) appliances as long as you can heat cure the appliance surface which allows XTC to reach it's maximum cure. Be sure to check out the heat cure process in the XTC Directions.

For a fridge, most customers use RustSeal for its durability and most fridges do not see temperatures above 500 degrees F.
