HOW TO PAINT A BRICK FIREPLACE

MATERIALS:
- Painter’s Tape
- Vacuum
- Damp microfiber cloth
- Paintbrush
- Wet rag for cleaning up mistakes
- Semi-gloss Paint: I used Benjamin Moore Simply White in semi-gloss
- Primer: I used this primer which my local paint store recommended
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Vacuum and clean the area around your fireplace removing any soot and dirt. Use dish soap to remove any soot (if necessary) from the bricks.
2.) Use painter’s tape to outline the areas you want to protect from paint.
3.) Apply a thin but even coat of this primer which my local paint store recommended, which I happened to have on hand using a paintbrush. Although some people recommended using a roller, our bricks were too uneven. A paintbrush will allow you to get in all the grooves.
4.) Wait for the primer to dry, and then apply two coats of semi-gloss paint in your desired color with a paintbrush. I used Benjamin Moore’s Simply White on the brick and the fireplace surrounds to match the rest of the woodwork in our house.
5.) Let the paint dry and remove the painter’s tape.

Nice blog. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for including the tip about the primer. I think a lot of people forget the importance of creating a good foundation for the paint and just paint straight on, not realizing the potential for chipping.
Loving the end result. The white looks so fresh and modern in this home.
The after shot looks like a completely different home from the before shot. This shows the huge difference a paint job can make to the look and feel of a home. Great job!
