Ladies and Gents of the Hearth,
We want to paint the brick on the fireplace. As you can see we have an insert in the fireplace. The bricks get hot when we're burning especially in the winter when we're burning full time. I never measured the temps of the bricks, but I know they get pretty hot just above the unit and radiate heat for hours.
I bought high heat spray paint because that was all I could find that was high heat. I would rather use brush. I'm not crazy about spray painting in my livingroom.
I found this stuff for $135/gallon. http://www.topsecretcoatings.com/cstore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=148&idcategory=77
I also found Rustoleum roll on high heat paint, but it's only in black. I need white.
Do I need high heat paint for this application? Will regular Benjamin Moore high quality paint fail in some way, pealing, flaking, cracking?
*Eidt: Sorry for the small pic. Also just for the record this pic was taken just after the install and the cord for the fan is now hidden and not visible.
