For heat shields I am using some Hardie (concrete / fiber) board spaced with a 1 inch airspace from wood walls. The boards are ugly. Can I use some sort of heat resistant paint on them to make them look better?

Stove also has heat shields. With the 2 (stove and wall) heat shield setup, they say I can go to 11 inches of combustibles. I'm using a sauna stove, and it will only burn a couple hours a week or so.

Thanks
 
Tile them, or they'll always just be semi-ugly to ugly no matter what you try to do with any sort of paint. Rick
 
I lived with painted cement board for a few years when we were pinching pennies. It wasn't fancy, but it looked a lot better than the raw product.
 
We "stucoed" for about $8, not heat shield, but wonderboard. If you click mysig link, that area behind the stove was done with just some leftover mortar mix and a small bottle of concrete tint from a box store...
