Default Heat resistant paint or coating?

I have a bit of a query regarding what options to use to change the colour of a wood heater.

I have a Norseman wood heater in brown that is basically this exact one:


So its a thicker steel box, surrounded by a sheetmetal cover which is some kind of enamel or powdercoat. With a newly renovated room, brown no longer suits and it would be good to change it to black.

I think powdercoating would be the best option if it can stand up to the heat. Being that the sheetmetal is more of a cover with a bit of an airgap and not in direct contact with the fire itself, it just MAY be ok. I never actually tested surface temperatures though.

Also the Flue is brown which may be more of an issue.

The other option is a potbelly paint, but it seems like a messier option which wouldnt have as good a finish, and probably easier to scratch.

What can you recommend?
