Painted Stove losing colour

    We purchased a stove from an Irish manufacturer which comes in an array of painted colours (not enamelled but painted) we lit some very small fires in it to break in the stove and then lit a normal fire, 30 minutes later the stove, which was blue in colour, had lost the colour and turned grey on the outside of where the fire box is contained. We called the manufacturer who sent a maintenance man out to respray and "bake" the colour back on. We again lit very small fires and then a normal fire however the exact same thing has happened. The stove company don't really want to know and are telling me that they'll only replace it with a black stove because it's not that there's anything wrong with the stove, but it's the conditions in our house causing the paint issue. The paint used is supposed to be able to withstand 650 degrees C and is specifically made for using on stoves. Our house was built in 2014/15, is warm, dry, well insulated etc etc. We designed the room around this blue stove, sourced vintage tiles from the 1960s to match the colour of the stove etc and a black stove will basically look sh*te in it's place. We also paid more for the coloured stove and a flue custom painted to match. Any advice on what to do next would be great.

    It really depends on the pigment in the paint, you might be better finding out who makes the paint and talk to them.

    How does the flue manage to stay the right colour? In some cases the flue would get hotter than the outside of the stove.

    The flue stays the right colour as does the door of the stove which is very odd. You're right that the flue would get hotter than other parts of the stove. I finally made headway with them today after calling consumer rights and giving the company some nice facts. They have agreed to replace the stove. As far as I'm concerned the stove was faulty or the original paint reacted with something else before it ever arrived at our house.
