Painting Fire Trim???

koolkid

Hi

Hope someone can help. We were going to change our fire because but due to the type of fire it was going to be £800+ that we can't afford right now. Anway the fire is fine it's just that the trim is gold and not really inkeeping with our house- anyway I noticed this morning that the trim is magnetic and replaceable YAY! Because it's quite a big fire I can't find a trim to fit and wondered if I could spray it with heat resistant paint until I found one??? I don't want to spray it for it to start flaking off though! Any tips? xx

Can't help, unfortunately, but I also have a gold/brass fire surround I've been eyeing distastefully and thinking "Paint!" Anybody actually tried it, please? I was thinking maybe chimenea paint or something designed for cast iron fireplaces-what products are there out there?

Thanks for the question. Sorry I can't help but I have the same problem. It's a baxi bermuda (back boiler) it would cost far too much to replace (over £2000 :eek:) Since it's gas coal effect and we don't use it very often I was wondering if a metal spray paint would work?
I'd also love to paint the hearth and trims which are green and I was thinking beige would be better. After all they used to slap white gloss on them years ago.
