SPRAY PAINTING A WOODEN FIREPLACE

Mrs Cole

Hi Guys....

Need a bit of advice.... Just bought a new house and dont like the fireplace, but also, dont have the money at the moment to replace it. I was hoping to "Jazz it up" a little on the cheap for time being.

Can you spray paint a wooden fireplace? Is there a particular paint that I should use? Any info or past experiences welcomed!!

Thanks Guys!!

But that paint is for use on metal surfaces, not wood. Will it look good on wood? Would you need to paint on an undercoat?

I painted the wooden surrounds on my 2 fireplaces with regular paint - I don't see the need for specialised paint. They worked out fine and I have fires lit regularly. I just painted them as you would normally paint wood - sand, thin undercoat first, full undercoat, two thin layers of top colour.
