Rusty Wood Burner-----Paint??????

Years ago I had a wood burner that had some slight rust starting on it and I bought some stuff that I thought was called Stove Blackening. I lightly sanded the areas with some 600 or 400 sand paper and rubbed this fairly thick (not runny) liquid on and the stove looked great. This was not high temp paint and it didn't burn off even after years of use. I'm needing some more and I can't find any. What was it called and where can I find some more??? Thanks in advance.

Back in the day, I built a lot of wood heaters.
I have always used high temp flat black manifold paint.
It has really improved since I first started using it.
Here is a photo I just took of a stove I rebuilt about 5 years ago.
I painted it then and have not repainted it.
Here is one brand I have never used.

This stove heats practically all our house.
Never gets hot enough to boil water.
We have a big house that we built ourselves and it is very easy to heat and cool.
 

It looks very much like Graphite paint/ polish . I use it at the farm , you can paint it on but its a bit steaky and needs rubbing in .
Two part and high temperature aerosols just burn right off a wood stove , this stuff just stays there .

If you can't find any you can easily make your own , all it is is graphite powder mixed with natural gum turpentine, the same as used by artists using oil paints .
 
I know what your talking about. I have used it also. Believe it is made by Rutland. Same company that makes the rope gasket material and cement. My local hardware store has it.
 

Here is what I was given. It is brush on paint.

Martha Stewart's brand,
