Why are heat resistant paints so expensive

This is pure marketing. Heat resistant paint is an expensive commodity simply because managers are confident in your worth. A person who has the money to equip a fireplace in the house will find it for paint as well.

Only special paints or varnishes will help in this case.

By the way, it is especially worth recommending the KO85 varnish, if you decide to leave the fireplace with brickwork and just emphasize it with a varnish sheen.

Iron sulfate paint

The first option for homemade heat-resistant paint involves the use of ferrous sulfate (ferrous sulfate) and tar as a base.

Bring the tar to a boil. Since the base has a pungent specific smell, it is better to heat the tar in the fresh air.

Gradually, stirring, add iron vitriol to the hot tar.

The best result with this paint can be achieved if it is applied directly hot to a preheated oven.
