We all love warm summer nights, gathered around the fire pit with friends and family, roasting hotdogs, and sharing old stories. But after a few seasons of enjoyment, your old fire pit is looking like it may need a makeover. Can this be done – and is it safe?

Painting a fire pit requires a high-heat paint. After researching the best spray paints for high heat firepits I came across several that are supposedly specifically made for grills or firepits, but if you look at their fine print, they say not to use anywhere that is exposed to flames. Several high heat spray paints are rated up to 1200 degrees, which is ok for the OUTSIDE of a grill or firepit.
