Have been using "VHT FLAMEPROOF" very hi temp (1300-2000 deg F; 704-1093 deg C) from Autozone. It is flameproof automotive header paint, which forms a silica ceramic coating. It too has to be heat-treated (200 deg F, then 600 deg F) in the oven. Yes, it absorbs heat beautifully, and it is as hard as nails. I highly recommend it. Only in black, as far as I could tell. PS...soot comes off easier, as I only use a woodgas stove or a campfire to cook. Thank you for the vid.
+StandsWithABeer I've tested both and do not see any differences in using VHT or Rust-Oleum, the difference is the price, Rust-Oleum is under $4 Walmart or Lowes or Home Depot, VHT is as high as $20 a can, so since 90% of most Alcohol Stove and campers,hikers and others pots & pans, are mostly of the cheaper variety, I will stick with and suggest only the Rust-Oleum, if you paid a lot for your cookware, you should not have to paint them to begin with,
i know this video is around 7 years old, that $3 paint is £16 here in the UK. So if i want black outside and awhite bottom, it is going to cost me £32. May as well buy a new Titanium pot.
You should go on a hiking trip to the Olympic National Park in Washington. It's my favorite place to hike it has beautiful views and quiet trails. It may be a long trip to get their but it's worth
I have been doing this for a while now. Works great on my charred cloth/punkwood tins. They last a lot longer. You said the paint stuck at times. Did you bake it on per instructions? This makes a lot of difference or at least did to me. I sometimes even had delamination or bubbling.
I use rustoleum high heat flat black on my camp cookware. But I recommend you doing a little gap were your lips might touch or anywhere close to the brim of a vessel.. Just saying.
Yeah, there isn't much I've come up with for that so far. My tomato can pot that I used to use had a white anti-corrosion lining and never got a spot of rust. Downside was being careful not to burn the lining up with dry heat, plus some people really freak on the the whole BPA thing, so I moved on to the liner less version.
+sintax77 Season it, as if it were a cast iron skillet, steel skillet or wok. Works best if heated in a grill outdoors rather than in the kitchen due to smoke generated during the process. Often recommended to have temp at 350 F for 1 hour. Better to have temp 400-500F. Multiple thin coats of your favorite grease/oil rather than a thick single coat. Repeat seasoning process as many times, as needed, to get the "tin" can thoroughly seasoned to prevent rust.
Cool tip but its a coffee can. Just get a new one! I drink coffee and have like 50 in my basement. But if you don't drink coffee I could see the issue.
What?! Game changer - my Lowe's has been holding out on me. I still think the silver had the best pre-heating times. I'll have to grab a can and do a test.
+sintax77 Did you ever test out this Silver High Temp Paint, and find out whether or not it is better than black, I read somewhere that you should paint pots Black on the outside, White on the bottom and keep the inside Silver or Chrome painted or if that's the original color anyway, keep it that way, Black Absorbs heat, so as the flames on an Alcohol stove or wood fire comes up and around a pot, it would absorb best of any color, the bottom should be white, I can't recall right now the reason for that, and Silver reflects heat inward, so that's best for the inside or keep it original if that color, it makes sense to me, so I'm not sure of the Logic of painiting it high heat silver over black.
Painting your pots with flat black high temp paint is an old trick for increasing your stove's efficiency. I think you've lost sight of your purpose. You are trying to heat up whatever is in the pot, not prevent it from heating! You should reconsider painting the bottom with black paint instead of white paint. In this case, I think the problem is with your "fancy feast" can stove and not the black bottomed can you're using as a pot!
I usually heat water on the inside of the pot, not the outside. Pot last without rusting a few days, then I cut up some new coffee cans.

I'm using tin cans in a campfire.
Pretty cool idea!!
Thanks for the tip.
Awesome tip, thanks!

Just made one tonight. Thanks Sintax77.
+ismelltoast Right on!
Just need the cozy and I'll be set.
Thanks for the tip.

Great info. Thanks!
What is the weight difference with the paint on the can?
I have been doing this for a while now. Works great on my charred cloth/punkwood tins. They last a lot longer. You said the paint stuck at times. Did you bake it on per instructions? This makes a lot of difference or at least did to me. I sometimes even had delamination or bubbling.
Deep South Experience Thank you for the baking tip!
To combat the paint sticking to the stove, could I just attach aluminum foil to the bottom of the stove on top of the paint?

Nice tip. I actually have a separate cup that I drink out of that I haven't treated with anything yet.
How do you rust proof the inside?
Great tip. Now off I go to Home depot to get some paint!
See if you can figure out a way to attach a hook for a handle, with some wood on it.
Thanks for the tip and I just spent 20 bucks because I need a cookpot for an extra person taking a hike with me. Oh well
Hmm, I bet a black pot would cook faster in a solar oven also!
This may have been answered before Syntax, but what size can is that? I see a 11.3 oz and 10 oz version of the coffee at walmart.
Oh, man.. I can't remember now that the labels are all torn off, but I'm going to guess that it's the 11.3 oz version?
Any thoughts on rust proofing the interior? I get water spots that quickly turn to rust.
Yeah, there isn't much I've come up with for that so far. My tomato can pot that I used to use had a white anti-corrosion lining and never got a spot of rust.

@@oldtimerlee8820 working for me...multiple coating is best and it's easy just like cast iron
Don't throw it in the fire without liquid in it, that paint will still burn. Not sure what you make of your flame going out due to black paint claim.
Cool tip but its a coffee can. Just get a new one! I drink coffee and have like 50 in my basement. But if you don't drink coffee I could see the issue.

I would like to have some red or orange paint.
Treat it like cast iron. Season your cans. Will make it rust resistance as long as you keep it seasoned.

Syntax; PM me
You don't want an aluminum can... Health reasons!
