Paint it dark gray or black then German smear it That will look even better I have done few fireplaces like that in my flip homes

What is the difference between German smear, and regular white wash??

[@mrsashleyfrench]

White wash is typically done with a mix of white paint and water and German smear is done with a thicker, textured putty-like product like joint compound. I was hesitant to use a watery white-wash on the brick panels because they are made from MDF and it can swell and warp if it gets too wet.
