Interior Paint with a difference........

Recommended Posts

Our large chimney breast is painted a rather dull browny colour.  We want to change this to a brilliant white but am unable to find a suitable paint bearing in mind the heat issue.  Feeling is that we would probably be better off sourcing in the UK and getting someone to bring it out.  Any ideas?

Oil or synthetic alkyd paints will all yellow in time.Heat will accelerate the process.

IF the chimney breast is stone or a plaster finish and does not get hot then an emulsion paint will be fine-no need to bring in from u.k.

if the wall gets very hot then there is a possibility of the paint softening and attracting dust.

If you have a metal surface that gets hot then you have a problem-non yellowing white finishes are specialist paints not normally available to the public and actual temperature of surface needs to be measured to get correct advice.
