Fireplace paint gave our firebox a nice clean satin finish, however the pint does not go far, we bought two cans and just barely had enough to apply two coats.
I am very happy with this product. It does have a very strong smell, so ventilation when painting is a must. The inside of our gas fireplace was a dull off white color, which made the overall look unattractive. After painting the interior, our fireplace looks so much more sophisticated!
Good coverage, with two smaller cans we painted 3 fireplaces. Looks great.
This is an awesome product. However, be prepared for several coats of the product. It’s as thin as water. I have red brick and it’s soaked up the first coat instantly. After the first two coats, the red brick still had a purple sheen. It took two additional coats (a total of 4 coats) to achieve a perfect flat black. Still, The end result is absolutely awesome.
I have red brick, it took 3 coats to fully cover the red color. You might inform buyer that it’s very thin (watery) and the brick will soak up the first coat. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the end result.
I painted the inside of our firebox after having the fireplace tiled. I followed the advice of others' reviews online: I bought a respirator and I planned to use an old brush and throw it out when I was done. I didn't even notice the odor while I was working because of the respirator, and it does seem to dry very quickly so the odor dissipates fast. The paint coverage was good, though I could have used maybe 1/3 of another can. (I tried to use a roller, but it just SOAKED up the paint and then didn't put any down on the brick, so I went back to the brush and was sad that I'd lost the paint in the roller.) The inside of our firebox seemed to be a mix of different types of material; some was red brick, some was probably cinder block. The two materials took the paint very differently; the brick took the paint beautifully and the block needed more coverage. It is very black and looks great, I'm glad I used this product and I would use it again.
Really pleased with the product so far. Applied it to quick dry concrete that had been applied as a final layer on the inside of an outdoor natural gas fire-pit. The quick dry concrete had an unfinished, dirty light beige color/look to it...this Brick-Anew Black Firebox paint went on easily, dried nicely, and has had no issues holding up through ten or so hours of total firepit use time so far. Has a really nice, clean look to it. Exactly what I was looking for.
This stuff is great! It shipped quickly and one can was more than enough to repaint my entire large firebox.
Make sure you have good ventilation when you’re using it because it is very strong. When it dries it’s a beautiful and non-smelly matte black.
My fireplace hasn’t looked this good in years!
Just finished painting the firebox and it looks awesome. As mentioned in other reviews proper ventilation is a must. Also clean up is a bit challenging. I would recommend using an old brush and just throwing it away. The product went on great and easy enough. While I was skeptical that I would have enough paint when I got the can, it was more than enough. Priced seemed a bit much but WELL worth it. Would highly recommend the product.
After scrubbing the soot off the inside of our firebox and letting it dry completely, I sued a course brush to apply Rutland Hi-Temp Paint on the mortar lines first and then a small thick roller to paint the blocks. I kept going over the inside of the firebox until I had used up all the paint. Good ventilation is a must while applying the paint. I wore a mask that did not help a lot but was better than nothing. After the paint dried, I had a chimney sweep clean the chimney and he complimented me on the job and said I used the correct paint on the firebox. He installed a new H Burner and I put in the fire glass. The end product is a stunning fire-on-ice fireplace thanks to the prep work with the Rutland Hi-Temp Paint!
