Thanks for the informative video. I want to do the same to my fake stone fireplace but it has very deep crevices and I figured I’d spray paint it to be able to get into all those crevices. Do you have any opinion on that method?
@alwaysbelearning565511 ай бұрын
My fireplace had a lot of nooks and crannies too so I had to dab in a lot of those crevices. I am not sure about a sprayer. It might work well, but I haven't tried it. It might depend on the vicoscity of the paint in terms of coverage. Let us know how it goes!

Great! Some have asked us if we use our fireplace (i.e. with fire) and we do not. If you plan to, you can consider high heat paint. It might not be necessary since the exterior stone facade may not get that hot.

@alwaysbelearning56554 жыл бұрын
Hi Jonda! You could paint over existing paint by following the same procecure as shown in the video (primer first, then paint). However, my concern with doing that is losing the texture of the stone that you have by adding several layers of primer & paint. Perhaps you could try getting a small amount of paint and testing it in an inconspicuous area (such as the side or bottom) and seeing if you like the resulting texture? Having said that, if you look at the final texture of my fireplace stone in the video, I don't think it would be a problem adding at least 1-2 more coats of paint, but in your case it may depend on the current state of your stone surface. You may also need to check to see if any areas of existing paint are chipping away in which case you should at least sand of any loose bits. Alternatively, you could first remove the existing paint using a few different methods. There are mechanical ways of removing paint (sanding, pressure wash, or sand blast) and chemical ways (solvents) and if you go to your local paint store, they should be able to provide you with different options.

I understand why you are hesitant! We felt the same way before we did it. It's up to each person to decide if they want to commit to a project like this. It would be difficult to remove the paint after (although maybe possible depending on the condition of your fireplace but you might need to call a professional). It also depends if you actively use the fireplace (we do not). For our situation, it turned out great and we have no regrets.
