Spray paint metal fireplace doors.
It s time to paint the fireplace brass.
Add more coats if necessary for coverage.
Let this dry then apply another thin coat.

Never attempt to paint a metal fireplace without applying a galvanized metal etching primer first.
So right before we headed to haiti rather than packing and prepping i decided to paint the paneling in in our living room.
If the fireplace is a wood or coal burning one that heats the doors up use heat resistant paint.
Because i was painting metal aka something that normal paint struggles to stick to i opted for spray paint instead of brush on paint.
It brightened up the entire living room and made everything look better but it also accentuated the dated brass fireplace surround.
Eventually we d love to replace this wood burning.
Do not use plain primer in place of galvanized metal etching primer or the finish will chip away.
Do not paint a metal fireplace with an ordinary paint or the finish may bubble and peel because of high heat.
Two thin coats of the spray paint will more than cover the fireplace brass.
Spray the brass portions of the fireplace doors with a light sweeping motion applying a thin coat of paint.
Auto supply stores carry a wide range of spray paints suitable for metal including other metallic finishes.
It will take you less than 1 minute for each coat.
Then crack a window.
