I have a gas fireplace that I’m considering painting dark gray. I was very inspired by your post!

In reply to Janet. Thank you Janet! I'm not 100% how the paint would adhere to marble, but I would think it would behave similarly to tile!

Hi, I love your fireplace and would love to do this as well but I have ugly brown speckled marble on mine. Can I do this paint on marble ? Congrats! And thanks for sharing.

Where can u buy this paint that u speak of?? My fireplace is gas and my tiles on the hearth part do get fairly warm when my fireplace is on. How does this paint hold up to heat? Does thus paint come in other colors?
Thanks
Leah

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda! No, I didn't sand before painting, but that might be a very useful step, especially for a glossy surface! If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

Did you sand your tile first before painting? My tile is a polished marble.

In reply to Katie Kirkman Hackett.

Hi Katie,
I’m afraid I can’t answer that for you – I’m not sure how heat-resistant this paint is! I know that there are paints out there designed for high-heat applications. Personally, I like to play it safe, so I might stick with one of those instead!

Best,
Brynne

We have a working insert woodstove surrounded by marble that I would like to paint. Do I need to be concerned about this paint being flammable?

In reply to dawn. Hi Dawn! I had painted the brick fireplace surround black in our previous home, so I knew I loved the look of white trim + black surround. But honestly, I was still a little scared to pull the trigger in here, so I created a mockup in Photoshop to test drive the look! You could do the same by playing around with free editing in PicMonkey or even just using a basic Paint program - it doesn't need to be fancy, it just lets you see how the new color works in your existing space! You could even tape up construction paper or poster board in black to physically try it out before committing :) Hope this helps!

This looks great! I have the same fireplace and have been wrestling with painting the tile. How did you get up the nerve to do black? I was considering a color close to the mantle (mantle is off white). Im nervous about the black because the rest of the room is yellow. Thoughts??? Thanks
