What happens here

After masking, prepare the fireplace surface for painting by cleaning it thoroughly. Pour denatured alcohol onto a clean rag and wipe down the entire surface that will be painted. This step is crucial for removing any contaminants, grease, or dirt that could cause the paint to 'fisheye' (create small craters) or not adhere properly. Wear a respirator during this step to protect against fumes.

Goal: Remove contaminants for proper paint adhesion.
