Brass Painting Hacks. Instructions Painting A Brass Fireplace Black.

What happens here

With the brass pieces clean and dry, prepare for painting. Since it is cold outside, the painting is done indoors. Lay down drop cloths and paper to protect the floor and surrounding areas from overspray. The chosen paint is Rust-Oleum High Heat Semi-Gloss, which is self-priming, so no additional high-heat primer is necessary. Shake the spray can very well before and during application. Apply two coats of paint to each brass piece, allowing about 30 minutes for each coat to dry. The pieces should then be allowed to dry and cure overnight for the best results. For any fixed brass parts on the fireplace frame that were not removed, mask the surrounding fireplace brick and apply two coats of the same paint in place.

Goal: Apply a durable, updated finish to the brass trim.

pad. So once we get these things all cleaned with our Dawn dish soap, we're going to let them dry. We got some paper right here that we're actually going to just lay them out and spray them on. We're just going to be using it's on a fireplace. So, you definitely got to have a high heat paint because they're probably going to get pretty hot. We're just using a Rustoleum high heat semi- gloss paint right here. Hopefully, you can see that spray can. It's a self priming can, so we don't have to prime them first cuz if you do have to prime them because they are going to be getting pretty hot, you'd have to use a high heat primer, too. But, this Rustoleum is a self priming paint. Primer and paint one. So, we'll just be spraying them with this and they'll look brand new once they're all sprayed and then we're going to let them dry and reinstall them. So, we're actually inside spraying these things cuz it's actually pretty cold outside. It's winter time. Been snowing, raining, snowing most of the time, but we've got a drop cloth down. Got some paper down just to make sure we don't get any overspray on the floor, but we've been painting the walls inside here, so everything's covered up already. Want to make sure you shake your hand up really good and then begin spraying them. [Applause] [Music] So, we're spraying these things. This product actually dries extremely fast, about 30 minutes. We're actually going to be putting two coats on each one of these pieces of metal and then we'll be letting them set to dry overnight. So, we're getting our first coat on, be applying our second coat here pretty soon. We're going to finish spraying all these things. We're going to let them set a day and then we'll reassemble it back on the fireplace. We're actually spraying the fireplace brick, too, and painting that. And we're going to let that dry. Let all these pieces dry and reassemble it. And you'll see what it looks like when it's all done. Got our
