I've got my hands full with these floors right now. :)

The paint I used on the chiminea is just regular old latex and it worked great. I can definitely see why you'd want to use the high-temp paint, but this chiminea doesn't get used daily and there is no paint on the inside or even on the lip of the area where flames could potentially touch. We don't use the thing long enough for the outside to get crazy hot. I'm not worried about it. We used a really light coat of paint and let it dry and off-gas well before putting the very, very small fire inside for the s'mores.

But definitely, it's a good idea to buy the paint used for radiators. And it's a bad idea to use oil-based paint. I used latex because that's what I had on hand and I felt comfortable with it.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like high temp paint because all I could find is spray and she is applying it w/ a brush. This could either be dangerous, fumes from melting paint or catching on fire. Looks like it was done just for show. Not a good example for followers of this blog. Please respond to this if I am wrong.
