DIY Fireplace Transformation | How to Paint a Tile Fireplace and Fireplace Tile Surround

[@path3734]

Don’t you need to use a fire high temp paint?

[@MikePrezAI]

Not necessarily. If you are painting inside the box, then you definitely need to use high-temperature fire-rated paint. However, for the surrounding area, it doesn't get as hot. You should check how hot the area outside the fireplace can get (Google Search) and then review the paint's description to ensure its maximum temperature rating exceeds that of the surrounding area.

Have a question about flexio do u thin paint on mine I tryed like the vid you have and did not spray

[@MikePrezAI]

Yeah on the Flexio, depending on the type of paint, you have to thin. Start with a small % amount of water, 5% test spray, 10% test spray, 15% test spray, etc. Until it comes out at the consistency you want. You might have to clean the head of your Flexio because maybe some paint dried and is clogging the machine.
