What paint for fireplace?

Hello, I wondered if anyone could tell me if I needed any special paint (heat resistant)? or like to paint my wooden fire surround?

Kind Regards

Richard

    certainly any water based paint will be ok.
    enamel paint if you want a gloss finish, and if the surround does get hot?

    what sort of fire have you got?
    Get some gorm.
