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.
:sweatdrop: as soon as i order product and recieve i will begin taking pictures be happy to send them out if i can figure out how to do that :laughing: have lots of before and after rooms i've done in the last 6 months do not know how to up load them. i'll figure it out and get them posted.
I used Twilight Taupe. When your kit arrives instructions take you through each step. I did watch the dvd a few times before I began. The first step took the longest amount of time! I did not rush the "steps". It took me a weekend to complete. Good Luck!
:thumbsup: thanks for the responce thats the exact color i had in mind!!!!! I'm very anxious to get started and will have to figure out how to upload my pictures I think it will put the wow in my redecorated living room I'm still looking for.
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??
I tried brick anew and just LOVED IT! I wished I had the nerve to do it years ago. It's totally changed the look of my den from dark and dated to updated and bright.
