Specific Fireplace request

[joeyjordan]

Hi all,

A couple years back I posted a thread about requesting my fireplace be painted a dark grey, but I ended up putting that project on the back burner and just now decided I would once again try to tackle it. I think the picture I have now is better quality, and I was just trying to see if anyone could help with painting the stones on the fireplace a similar to the dark grey color on the tray ceiling. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If it helps, I'm looking for something like the color featured in this picture:

I think you want some variations in the gray - so it's not just a single flat color.
I changed the brown stone to gray but still leaving the gray values.. Is this OK?

That's perfect, thank you. Now I just have to hope I can get it to turn out like this lol. Thanks again!

Haven't painted brick myself but seems there are a lot of products out there to help with this type of work.
Poke around and came up with this product for instance:

Stone Fireplace Paint Kit | Renovate Stone Fireplaces Quick and Easy

Our all- inclusive stone fireplace paint kit gives old, dark or outdated stone a fresh, clean, modern look while keeping the look of real stone.

brick-anew.com

Best to head over to your local paint shop to find out what the options are. Might not give you exactly what you want but get close.

Good luck with this project!
