The way I learned it some 50+ years ago was:
Keep It Simple Stupid - Make it Easy.
I guess the 'it' part never made it into the anachronism... Maybe that was
just a part of Keeping it Simple ;-)

Leave it bare. It wont rust, theres no paint that might burn off and its easier
to inspect for cracks and such.

I didnt paint anything on the engine side. I glued an insulating blanket on the
cabin side to help keep the heat and noise out.

Why Chris?
1 - The firewall is already metal.
2 - You are not going to get any better fire protection than the
metal.
3 - The problem is not fire proofing - It is ADHERENCE to the
metal.
4 - You would have to do experiments to prove out the temperature
range of the paint and the operation conditions.
5 - Since there is an expansion to this paint - Would the
expansion cause a loss of bonding?
6 - What happens to the paint AFTER it expands? Does it return
100% back to its original size and bond strength? Which reflects back to
Item #3.
Too many variables. The K.I.S.S. M.E. part of this build has
already passed. What has to be addressed now is Adherence - Corrosion
Protection and Looks.
