there is a spray paint on the market made for "high heat" areas such as steam radiators.This should work fine for your application. Check the BORG, that is where I buy it. * The X-men cometh *
Response:
I have a Majestic gas fireplace which has been used for two winters only. The black paint inside the fireplace is peeling off due to the heat. I called the manufacturer and they suggested me to repaint the inside. What paint should I use? The inside of the fireplace is made of metal. Thanks. Michael
Response:
I just moved into a townhome with a wood burning fireplace. The interior of the fireplace is black metal, but over the years it appears to have taken a lot of abuse from ash and stuff, as it is seriously pale in some places, and in some places even looks like white rust or something. I was thinking that a nice shiny new black paint would look spiffy, but can I do this, and if so, what type of paint? I’m obviously concerned with both whether the paint will peel and look funny under the intense heat and whether it might give off some dangerous fumes when heated.
Response:
Clean thoroughly with scrub brushes and detergent cleaner. Wipe dry and follow up with a coat of paste wax (assuming the metal is reasonably smooth) without any flammable solvents. The wax won’t "last" with the heat of the fire, but it will give you a deeper black finish until that time. Paint – of any type – is a waste of time in your firebox, if you ever plan to use it. Kevin

Response:
There is a product you can probably pick up at your local hardware store called stove black. Once you have the metal cleaned up simply brush or wipe it on. It is kind of like a metal stain. I use it to freshen up my old wood stove. Gives it a nice black color. It isn’t a paint so it will not burn off, at least right away. Before you buy.
