Wot paint can I use on my old gas fire?
Answers:
100% is has to be a radiator paint, anything else may give off toxic fumes.
Radiator paint is especially designed for heat.
You only need a small tin for a gas fire, so the cost will not be too frightening.

Enamel paint for radiators. B&Q.
Enamel paint is probably the best bet but ask at the paint shop first. Emulsion will just flake off with the heat
emulsion is ok because its water based do not yous oil based paint like gloss paint
masonry works the best
They sell a paint to use on grills, BBQs, etc. The paint color is black and works well against the heat. The only problem I have with it (and it shouldn't matter to you with the fire being gas) is that the ash from my logs makes the black turn whitish grey, until I clean it again. I know -- pet peeve -- but you should be fine with it. 1 can will do it for you.
I used a cellulose spray paint on mine. Just be careful not to expose it to naked flames until it dries (which is pretty quick)
