Brick Fireplace Paint ...
Hello. This is my first post so thanks in advance to all who offer their help.
I'm remodeling my dining room and about to install a new mantle and built in book shelves. Before doing so, I want to change the color of my brick fireplace. Previous owner loved pink and so I got a pink fireplace. Ouch. A neighbor said she has the same fireplace but still a different brick color. Anyone know if this is original brick color or some kind of epoxy/paint? The color on the brick and mortar is so consistent it looks like a paint or something. I like brick but a different color more red/crimson. Anyone have an idea? I'd like to stain the brick but can't tell if the stain will take. Thanks! Pat |

I cannot really tell from the photo but this does not look like brick and mortar to me but rather like some faux product or spray on epoxy finish?

Brick Fireplace Paint ...
I'm sure it's brick ... it's a 1950s masonry fireplace. Hard to tell becuase whatever is covering it is so freaking thick! I think it is an epoxy though not sure. It looks like something that would be in a garage with all the spreckles. Any other thoughts? Here's another photo ... from a bit further away.
How can I change the color? ANyone know? |
