Use a paint that is made for fireplaces or grills. (high heat) The smell will be bad. JMHO, brush it don't use a spray can.This should be painted in the off season for using gas logs. Is very flamable until cured. When the logs are used the first time let the  client know that it will have a strong odor at first. It should go away soon after the logs at lite.

Benjamin Moore Industrial Maintenance Coatings, M64 Silicone Akyd High Heat Coating. It is an aluminium paste based alkyd which is formulated for kilns, incinerators etc. for heat resistance up to 800 degrees. M64-80 is the product code for black. Use it as a primer and finish coat and apply two or three thin coats instead of one or two heavy and follow recoat time carefully. Can be ordered from any BM retailer. Get a copy of the TDS and read carefully before application.
Good Luck,
Vandi.

I put the M64-80 on the firebrick today. I used a brush and it spread and levelled out well. The brick was a light color and the black covered good in 1 coat. I did put a 2nd coat on about 4 hrs later. The odor wasn't any worse than an industrial enamel. Thanks for the tip VJ.........

Where can I get M64?   I've googled it, and can't even find it on the Benjamin Moore website
