Wow, how do you keep doing this to yourself? I did answer that question in your other thread. Basically, the answer is this: use paint that is intended for painting wood stoves. Oddly enough this is called 'stove paint' . I don't remember where you live (fill out your profile) but if you live in an area where wood stoves are used then the local hardware store should have this paint. Its in a spray can, comes in several colors although black is by far the most popular. Stove paint is rated to 1200 F, you spray it on and forget about it. It will cure when you run the stove (or forge). I generally repaint every year, just spray over the old paint and it blends perfectly.
Whatever that stuff is you have seems to be for coating tools and it probably won't last long on a forge. Not that it matters what the forge looks like. The paint helps keep it from oxidizing too badly and too fast from the heat and it can get ugly doing that...
