Barbara Jones answered 7/6/2011 Does One Need A Special Paint When Painting An Interior Brick Fireplace? We Want To Faux Finish Our Ugly Old Fireplace But Wonder If There Is A Need For A Special Paint Because Of The Temperatures On A Fireplace? After properly cleaning the bricks you shouldn't have any trouble painting your fireplace. A primer made specifically for masonry will make your paint go on smoother. Just make sure to use a high quality latex interior paint.
