1. A method of producing a refractory coating on the inner walls of a centrifugal casting mold by means of a spray application of a refractory coating composition, wherein the refractory coating composition has:
a solids fraction of more than 69 wt %, based on the total mass of the coating composition, and
a loss on ignition of less than 0.6 wt %, based on the total mass of the solids fraction of the coating composition,
wherein the refractory coating composition is a dispersion of refractories in an aqueous phase, the refractories at least comprising
(a) a total amount in the range from 4 to 50 wt % of particulate amorphous oxide, based on the total mass of the coating composition,
wherein the particulate amorphous oxide comprises a fraction of 85 wt % or more of silicon dioxide, based on the total amount of the particulate amorphous oxide,
wherein the particulate amorphous oxide possesses a mass-based D95 of less than 5 μm, determined by laser diffraction,
wherein the particulate amorphous oxide possesses a porosity of less than 50%, based on the total amount of the particulate amorphous oxide, and
wherein 90 wt % or more of the particles of the particulate amorphous oxide possess a sphericity of greater than 0.9, determined by evaluating two-dimensional microscope images, or
a total amount in the range from 4 to 50 wt % of microsilica as particulate amorphous oxide, based on the total mass of the coating composition, and
(b) one or more further refractories,
wherein 98 wt % or more of the total mass of the refractories are capable of passing through a sieve having a mesh size of 0.75 mm.
