Stove Bright 1200 deg. paints are often used for this purpose. Follow their directions, especially regarding prep and ventilation. This is serious brain-rotting stuff. Treat it with respect. Be sure to paint in a very well ventilated space and use an organic vapor mask with a fresh cartridge.

It's a good paint, acetone based IIRC. If the paint job gets over 1200 degrees, it will be one of your lesser worries. ;-)

The only mistake folks make with this paint is not mixing it enough--the silicones make a very sludgey mass in the bottom that takes much more effort to mix than regular paint.
