Hello — There is special paint that is used for fireplace tiles. Two examples are “Thurmalox Black Stove and Fireplace Paint” or “Behr Masonry, Stucco, and Brick Paint.” Check with your local paint store to weigh your options. Just be sure to clean your fireplace tiles before you begin.

I just painted my firebox. You will not find any high heat paint recommended for the inside of the firebox where you have direct flame. I even called Rust-oleum.

I ended up using Rust-oleum anyway as, although my fireplace is a working fireplace, I am not going to use it to burn wood.

I would use an oil based paint that has a primer in it..
