WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU ORDER BRICK-ANEW?

When you order the Brick-Anew paint kit you get five shades of latex paint specially formulated for use on fireplace brick. You also get all the tools you need to complete the project - a paint tray, rubber glove, brushes, rollers, sponge, paint tape, and stir stick. Also included is a step by step DVD, as well as written instructions, that shows you exactly what to do.

I'VE NEVER DONE A DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECT BEFORE. HOW HARD IS THE PROCESS TO DO?

Painting your brick fireplace is easy and takes only a few hours to complete. The only prep work necessary is to brush off your brick to remove any loose mortar or dirt. First, you paint a base coat over all your brick and mortar. Then you follow up using either your small roller or sponge to apply three "undertone" colors and a glaze. That's it! There's nothing hard or tricky about the process. You just follow the steps in order and you will get great results. It would be pretty hard to mess up.

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF FIREPLACES THAT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE JUST SLAPPED A CAN OF PAINT ON TO COVER IT UP. HOW IS BRICK-ANEW DIFFERENT THAN THAT?

Brick-Anew really looks like real brick - not just brick that's been painted over. If you purchased new brick, every brick wouldn't look the same and every brick wouldn't be one solid color. That's the look you get when you apply the shades of paint according to the directions in the kit.

CAN I BUY BRICK-ANEW IN A HARDWARE STORE?

We sell Brick-anew only over the internet at this time.

WHAT IF I ORDER THE KIT AND THEN I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT DOING THE PROJECT?

You can return the kit as long as none of the cans have been opened. There is a 20% restocking fee on any return.

HOW MUCH BRICK DOES ONE KIT COVER?

One kit will cover up to 100 square feet of brick. If you have 70 - 100 square feet, you should order an extra can of the base coat. Some brick can be porous and you don't want to run out of paint in the middle of your project.

HOW MUCH OF THE BASE COAT COMES IN THE KIT?

You get two quarts of the base coat in each kit. You can order extra if you need to for $24.95.

WHAT IS THE CLEAR MATTE FINISH?

The clear matte finish is a polyurethane product that is applied after the project is complete and the paint is dry. This is an optional step that protects against scratching, etc. It's not shiny, so you can't tell by looking at your brick that it's there.

IS THE CLEAR MATTE FINISH INCLUDED IN THE KIT?

The clear matte finish is not included in the kit and needs to be ordered separately. The cost is $24.95.

WILL BRICK-ANEW WORK ON A FIREPLACE THAT'S BEEN PAINTED BEFORE?

Brick-Anew can be applied right over a fireplace that's been painted. If it's an oil-based paint, you should purchase a lacquer sealer to go over the brick before applying Brick-Anew.

ARE THERE ANY HARSH FUMES?

There are no harsh fumes since Brick-Anew is a latex product that's been specially formulated for use on fireplace brick.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?

It depends on how many square feet you have to cover, but for a standard sized fireplace it will take about 5-6 hours. Keep in mind that all that time isn't spent working. You have to allow time for the paint to dry between steps.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE ARTISTIC TO USE BRICK-ANEW?

You don't have to be artistic to use Brick-Anew. Just follow the steps in order and you'll be fine. The cans are numbered in the order they're used. You can adjust the amounts of paint you apply on each step. You might like a little more of color #1 and a little less of color #3, for example.
