You can get loads of colors of heat resistant paints at the auto parts store. Car enthusiasts use it to paint their engines. You know that's got to live up to some wear and tear.

Is that a California thing? I live in the Chicago area and we all paint the inside of our fireplaces with a specialty black paint (probably what you are already using) so that you do not see any soot marks from the fire. It all blends in perfectly, in my opinion, and makes it look really clean. The whole inside of the box is spray painted including the floor. In my first house with a fireplace, I forgot to open the flue and nearly passed out from the fumes while painting!!!! Learned my lesson and opened up the flue and every window when I touched up my fireplace in my next house!! Another thing, have you seen any of those new fireplaces that do not use logs, but rather glass rocks that the flames come out of? They are so neat!!! I do not know of anyone who has them though, as of yet. I figured that you may be on the bandwagon all too soon. :) Just a thought . . . why aren’t the insides of your fireplaces painted black?
