We don’t paint or coat any of our products for many reasons. The main reason is because it is a waste of time and effort because it will never hold up under the intense heat of the fire and the harsh elements of the outdoors. The next reason is after the patina of the surface rust and application of the heat of the fire will give your firepit a wonderful rustic appearance that looks fantastic in your outdoor area. Our firepits are made so well they are not going to rust out like some other firepits in the industry.
