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.
