Great! Some have asked us if we use our fireplace (i.e. with fire) and we do not. If you plan to, you can consider high heat paint. It might not be necessary since the exterior stone facade may not get that hot.
@@alwaysbelearning5655 on this type it doesn't get hot so it shouldn't be an issue or I would definitely use a high heat paint it's field stone with stones up to 2ft across so I'm looking forward to trying your technique out.
@@alwaysbelearning5655 so I got the fireplace done and have had no issues with heat but like I said before there is alot of rock between the inside and the outside 👍 the technique worked beautifully tho
I did this but in silver with martha Stewart fine glitter. I used a blow dryer to blow it on. Came out gorgeous but it's been years and im tired of it. I just want plain now.
Marvelous! This is the video that I look for. I want to paint exactly the white color you have. What was the color of glitter you used? Was it white or mother of pearl? I am looking for your reply. Thanks!
Thanks for the informative video. I want to do the same to my fake stone fireplace but it has very deep crevices and I figured I’d spray paint it to be able to get into all those crevices. Do you have any opinion on that method?
My fireplace had a lot of nooks and crannies too so I had to dab in a lot of those crevices. I am not sure about a sprayer. It might work well, but I haven't tried it. It might depend on the vicoscity of the paint in terms of coverage. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks Julia! We didn't paint the inside of the hearth but did paint the hearth extension. The paint stayed on fine with a brush but you may consider a roller to get a smooth texture.
I understand why you are hesitant! We felt the same way before we did it. It's up to each person to decide if they want to commit to a project like this. It would be difficult to remove the paint after (although maybe possible depending on the condition of your fireplace but you might need to call a professional). It also depends if you actively use the fireplace (we do not). For our situation, it turned out great and we have no regrets.
Hi Jonda! You could paint over existing paint by following the same procecure as shown in the video (primer first, then paint). However, my concern with doing that is losing the texture of the stone that you have by adding several layers of primer & paint. Perhaps you could try getting a small amount of paint and testing it in an inconspicuous area (such as the side or bottom) and seeing if you like the resulting texture? Having said that, if you look at the final texture of my fireplace stone in the video, I don't think it would be a problem adding at least 1-2 more coats of paint, but in your case it may depend on the current state of your stone surface. You may also need to check to see if any areas of existing paint are chipping away in which case you should at least sand of any loose bits. Alternatively, you could first remove the existing paint using a few different methods. There are mechanical ways of removing paint (sanding, pressure wash, or sand blast) and chemical ways (solvents) and if you go to your local paint store, they should be able to provide you with different options.
The can of paint we used is shown in the video. However you may consider using heat proof paint if you want to continue using the fireplace in the future for heat.
Hi I love the way your fireplace wall transformed , I have stone panels (quartz material) on my fireplace, there's no shine and I want to add some glitter to make is more lively, please suggest what can be applied adhevise with sparkles ???
Thanks riz1312! Hard to say. If it is quartz panels, I was wondering if it already looks pretty awesome? You could apply the glitter using a clear coat, but I have never tried it so I wouldn't know how well it would work in your situation.
Glad you liked the video. No, the glitter doesn't come off when you touch it since we applied it while the paint wast still a bit wet and we also used the paint itself to apply the glitter.
We used a flat white paint. In the video, you will see we applied the sparkle using a dabbing technique where we would wet a paint brush, dip it in the sparkle and then dab it over the still wet paint.
Great question! To be honest, I am not 100% sure, but from a search, the term Fieldstone Fireplace yielded the results that look closest to our fireplace.
This is so helpful. When my husband told me about the sparkle I was on feeling it. After watching you video it made perfect sense.
Glad it helped!
I have the opposite problem, im trying to strip the white off an inglenook fireplace!
It looks beautiful.
Thank you!
So helpful! Thank you! I’m doing exactly this in our new house with large brown stone fireplace. Super video.
Thanks CCS! Hope it turns out awesome for you and congrats on your new digs!
Thanks for this video. I followed all the steps and my fireplace looks marvelous!
Awesome! So glad it worked for you!
This looks like my old house in Staten Island. Great job!
Thanks Saleem!
Thanks. A spring project
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you
Very helpful.... didn't think i will find such a video lol base on exactly what am facing lol
Glad it was helpful!
Very cool will be doing this in my 1950 house that has really large stones and black mortar will let you know how it turns out thank you!! 😊

Thanks Luann!
looks beautiful i hadn't seen the glitter sparkle look before this video. Very nice love the color!
Thank you!
Great video. Very informative and beautiful
Thanks Christina!
Very nicely narrated concise information . I am wondering how well the paint adhered to the hearth part which was likely a smoother textured stone ?
Thanks Julia! We didn't paint the inside of the hearth but did paint the hearth extension. The paint stayed on fine with a brush but you may consider a roller to get a smooth texture.
This is helpful! Did you use white sparkle or mother of pearl?
Glad you found it helpful! I used white sparkle.
I really want do it but I’m scared to ruin everything 😩

Mine is already painted an awful poop brown! How can I get it off and do something prettier?

Looks great! What was the actual color of the glitter you used?
It is white glitter. They have other colors as well so you can choose one that will go well with your paint.
Love the look! I have rough stones on my fireplace. What paint should be used?
The can of paint we used is shown in the video. However you may consider using heat proof paint if you want to continue using the fireplace in the future for heat.
Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for. What color and size of glitter did you use if you remember?
Hi Factualclass! Here is a link to the glitter we used: www.amazon.com/Hemway-Additive-Emulsion-Interior-Exterior/dp/B07B3LLWDP
Amazing
Just subscribed to your channel from Qcrafts
Thanks Q Crafts!
Did you use white glitter? Can’t tell if white or silver?
It was called Hemway White Glitter Paint Additive.

What type of stone paint you used? Can you link? Thanks
I love it! May I have the link to the sparkle? I would like to purchase it.
Sure! Here is a link to the product on Amazon www.amazon.com/Hemway-Additive-Emulsion-Interior-Exterior/dp/B07B3LLWDP
Love how this looks :) how long did you let it dry after you wiped it down?
Thanks francesca05i! We waited about 2 hrs. It probably depends how much moisture you use when you clean.
Looks great. Does the glitter come off the paint if you touch it?
Glad you liked the video. No, the glitter doesn't come off when you touch it since we applied it while the paint wast still a bit wet and we also used the paint itself to apply the glitter.
Will the paint hold if you really use the fireplace? (Because of the heat)
I haven't used the fireplace since painting it so I can guarantee it. They do have heat resistant paint for sale if you want to look into that.
Did you use heat resistant paint. Very good video 👍
Thanks! We did not use heat resistant paint but that could be a good idea if you intend to use the fireplace in the future.
Did you also use a brush to paint the flat bottom area?
Hi Chris! We used a roller for the flat areas since that will allow for a smoother finish.
did you use a flat paint over the primer? How did you apply the sparkle?
We used a flat white paint. In the video, you will see we applied the sparkle using a dabbing technique where we would wet a paint brush, dip it in the sparkle and then dab it over the still wet paint.
hi had query can I ask
Sure! What's your question?
What type of paint finish did you use? Flat, Matte, Satin, Semi-Gloss???
Hi Cheryl! We used matte paint. Fyi, they also have heat resistant paint if you plan on using the fireplace in the future.
Hi which color glitter paint do you choose white or mother of pearl
Hi Charlene, we bought the glitter from Hemway and the color was just called white.
Why didn’t you paint inside the fireplace? All black and charred
That's a good idea! Maybe we will do that.
How to wash them?
We cleaned the stones before painting by using a damp cloth and wiping them down.
Can this be done on a gas fireplace? I don't know if the bricks are real or fake.
Good question Ohio Lady! Hard to say without seeing it, but if your fireplace stones/bricks don't get hot, it should be ok.
@@alwaysbelearning5655 Thank you! I will let you know how it goes!
Is your stone a "Limestone"?
Great question! To be honest, I am not 100% sure, but from a search, the term Fieldstone Fireplace yielded the results that look closest to our fireplace.
You use flat/ eggshell or satin?
We used flat.
Hope I can talk my gf into this for 50 Sq. Ft. Haha.
😅
don't paint stone
what type of paint did you use ????
We used ultra white semi glass paint. If you plan on using the fireplace, you can also check out heat resistant paint.
