ᐅ Tile stove / masonry heater painted with the wrong type of paint?

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forum. At the beginning of this year, I bought a house. In the living room, there is a large tiled stove, which I had repainted by a painter. He used the paint shown in the attachment. Since the stove smells of paint when in use and also turns slightly yellow (it was painted white), I looked up the paint and found out that it is not intended for use on heating systems. Should I be concerned about the smell? My children’s eyes were irritated during the heating season.

Thanks for your help

Your second sentence already answers the question. So why was the stove running the entire heating season, and why are you only asking here now instead of confronting the painter directly?

The stove was only used once. Naturally, the painter does not want to admit his mistake.
So I will probably have to involve a lawyer, whether I like it or not.

Okay, that’s already a good start.
Almost every paint has an odor, even high-temperature resistant ones or radiator paint. The manufacturer states that a typical material-related odor is to be expected.
==> see datasheet

Here again, I refer to the datasheet, preferably to the following statement:

And once more, a reference to the datasheet:

The painter should have informed you that the paint turns yellowish – this is also why there is special paint for heating systems.

Show him the datasheet. If he still refuses to see reason, threaten legal action as the next step. Since the manufacturer explicitly states that the paint is not suitable for heating systems, he will almost certainly be at fault.
