I can get the additives for any paint I carry and they are suppose to give it a class A rating so that's probably the best I can do for him. I don't know what he has against an additive versus a premixed paint. It's probably all the same for the most part.

It's not the same. It's not even close. A good intumescent paint will have a blend of different flame retardants dispersed into it. Also, the ratio of different flame retardants have to be just right. Next, most importantly, the polymer should also be grafted to be resistant to flame as well.
What good is a flame retardant coating if it delaminates when the temperature reaches 200 f?
