I did the same thing 2 years ago. Very skeptical about the whole thing since you cannot go back. When I wiped it off I did it with a wet rag. That took off a lot more paint. I figured that if it was too light I could go over again. Turned out awesome! You can see different tones of color bleeding through the whitewash. When I was done I painted on a coat of water based poly. I get many compliments ! Yours really looks great! I’d recommend anyone with a dark fireplace to not hesitate and do it.
