A professional fireplace painter will get the job done

As you may know, fireplaces take a lot of work to maintain in one’s home. Although it is safe to paint both the inside and outside of one’s fireplace, it is important to find the right paint for the job so that you’re not at risk. Experts suggest using an acrylic latex paint that is heat-rated up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for the exterior of your fireplace. If you’re painting the interior as well, a high-heat paint that can withstand 1200 degrees Fahrenheit or more is safest. Before the paint is applied, a professional will have to sand and smooth the surface of the fireplace and clean any debris before starting the job.
