As the goal is to keep the heat inside the stove body we want less radiation to the outside off the paint. So more heat on the outside surface the more loss from the inside stove unless the loss is greater than the heat being supplied from the stove (not likely(?)). So its not the thickness of the paint and insulating material of the paint but the color of the surface that makes a big difference(?) as to how fast the heat will radiate to the outside air(?). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>And thanks for the info on purchase of an IR thermometer having an emissivity setting as I am about to purchase one.
