Well that is not encouraging lol

Interesting, good to know. I was more concerned with stopping the spread of rust which had almost engulfed the entire firepit (it is a metal bowl model on legs, basically).

​

I wanted to use this as a test to see how well it holds up, but I cannot comment on longer term use.

They make high heat paint for grills and firepits specifically.

I just refinished mine and burned some wood for a few hours, paint seems to be holding up just fine.
