Be careful, some heat-resistant paint doesn't work on metal exposed to flames. Try it on something else first.

Thanks a lot for your opinions. In the meantime I discussed the paint issue with a colleague, a painter.
He will care for blastering and re-painting. He promised me to get it into full "shape" again.
What do you think: Is a paint resistant up to 600 °C for the firebox resistant enough?


600 degs Cels will do the job nicely
