Rustoleum High heat is a good DTM paint but it really needs a blasted surface to work. Primer on top of a blasted surface then top coat is the best. Minimal prep is usually where cooker paint jobs fail.

| When you say blasted surface does this require the scaling to be removed or just roughed up? |

Removing the mill scale and creating a profile is the only way to prevent paint failure.
