Does anyone know if you can paint fireplace exterior?

[Guest]

I’d love to make it Matt black..

I would polish it but if you don’t want that look and would prefer black then consider polishing and selling it. You would probably get enough to buy a black unit. I regret selling mine but I got pretty good money for it.

It's beautiful, please keep it and polish it up and if need be pint the brinks.

[Jemma]

We have the same one

[Jaie]

This is what we did with ours… it’s in Lola the pergola.
Definitely keep it copper!
Such a thing of beauty

[Kat]

You can. But I'd paint bricks charcoal to make fire place pop.

[Freda]

I would render the wall, paint it black or deep blue or green and polish that copper up until it sings! How beautiful it is.

[Joanna]

NO way don’t paint it. Clean it up it will be amazing!!

[Ashley]

Is that copper though? I’d clean and polish it instead and paint the brick solid white (your wall colour) or black depending on how much natural light you’ve got for black.

Don't forget to take a look at: I’m keen to freshen my fireplace up

[Kalisha]

Keep the copper! They’re so expensive! It should be the feature!

Instead: Remove the floor tiles (hearth) and square it off. Then Render from the top of the brick wall all the way to where the Hearth ends. Then continue your flooring up to the hearth.

Yes, Bunnings sells a paint product called Pot Belly Black that is specific.

designed for fireplaces. I used it in a previous house to Re spray an original mission brown one. You will need about 6 cans though, does not go far.
