Choosing the Right Behr Paint

We recommend using Behr Masonry, Stucco & Brick Paint as it’s specifically designed for brick surfaces and provides excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance to harsh weather conditions.
Preparing Your Fireplace
Before you start painting, it’s essential to prepare your fireplace properly. Begin by cleaning the surface thoroughly with a wire brush and a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Remove all dirt, dust, and debris, and let it dry completely.

To ensure that the paint adheres correctly and lasts longer, it’s crucial to prime the surface with Behr Masonry, Stucco & Brick Paint Primer. Apply the primer using a roller or brush and let it dry completely.
Painting Your Fireplace
Once the primer has dried, it’s time to paint your fireplace with Behr Masonry, Stucco & Brick Paint. Apply the paint using a roller or brush, working from top to bottom, and let it dry for at least 24 hours.
