Since you are just doing the mantle, tape off and cover with newspaper any area you do not want to have paint on.

Hi Deanna,

Watered down Masonry Paint or Emulsion Paint! Good luck!

Here is a tutorial:

Start with a 50/50 mix of water and paint. After you brush it on the bricks, you can wipe some off with a rag. If it's not white enough, you can always increase the amount of paint.
