Just wondering if anyone has tried this product on a brick fireplace. I stumbled onto the website (http://www.brick-anew.com/) and it almost sounds too good to be true (really easy & quick with great looking results). The starter kit is nearly $200 for 6 not-so-large cans of paint. If the product works as promised, it would be worth the money. I'm just looking for someone who has actually tried it - I know once I start putting paint on my brick fireplace, there's no turning back.

Hello lbgal & everyone, I have ordered the Brick aNew product, but after watch the DVD on how to do it, I'm a little afraid of painting my fireplace. Does it really look good like on the picture or we will see the paint on the brick? Thanks. I look forward for your reply.
Thanks.

It has been over a year since I painted my fireplace! I love it! No regrets! I can't see the brick under the paint! I took my time...the first coat took the longest. It took me 3 hours. Painting on brick wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. I used the brush and made sure I thoroughly covered the brick. The next day I followed the rest of the steps--it was easier and quicker than the first coat! Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck!

I too have been researching paint for my ugly fireplace. I don't want it to look like it's been painted. According to Brickanew you don't get that painted look. It is expensive but after reading all the testimonials it looks like original brick. That would be worth it.
I don't want to spend any money no matter how small the amount only to have to redo it. So I want to know as does busymom has anyone tried this??
