How can I paint my brick fireplace?

I primed mine first with Kilz and then used chalk paint on top of it. Here is photo of what I did to the brick.

I cleaned the bricks then I used a hi-heat paint all in white. That was about 17 years ago so your nearest hardware or paint store may have something especially for brick. Your fireplace looks great and every up to date.

Have fun with it! Here's some ideas to get you started- http://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/rooms/q-painting-a-brick-fireplace-9038834

I whitewashed my brick which did wonders to tone down the 70's red brick. Looks much softer now .

Depending on how much brick is involved, you might consider covering it with painted wood trim and/or wood panels and/or new fireplace surround rather than painting the brick.

I've done this before and it's a long day. Don't use a brush. Opt for either a very fluffy roller or a paint sprayer. The brick will wear down a brush, trust me.
