Advice needed re painting fireplace surround tiles pls

Post by X5OT »

Hi all!

I have 10 fireplace surround tiles (5 each side) which I want to paint. They are impossible to remove without removing the entire fireplace surround and cast iron bit so I need to be able to paint them in situ. Reason for painting is that we do not like the design on them at all and want to go for something plain. Probably a mocha / coffee colour.

Would anyone be able to advise me on how to go about this and what paint I need (assume it needs to be heat / fire proof?!)

Thanks in advance!
