Hi, I have a wooden fireplace in house I rent. It sucks the light out of the room but I have been told i've to ask landlord if I want to paint it. I want landlord to forget I even live here so don't want to ask. Is there anything I can use that won't permanantly ruin it? It has a few grooves in it so if I paint it I may not get it all out of the grooves. It would look much nicer and fresher painted white but that is personal opinion I suppose. Any ideas welcome
