Can I use this on a fireplace surround?

Good question and one best suited to be answered by the Mfg. I have no idea as to the resistance to heat.

I'm sorry.. I really don't know.. My tube has paint all over it and I am unable to read the label..

You can use this stuff on ANYTHING. Before you start your rather large project, I strongly recommend you practice first on a surface similar to your surround. The good news/bad news is that the stuff is pretty unforgiving. Once it's on, it is on. Also, remember to massage/mix it in the tube. If the product has sat for a while, often it will separate in the tub. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy "gilding."

I bought two for my living room, one on each side of a picture over my fireplace. My house is old too, but if you are using them as actual lights and not accent lighting you might want four or look at something else. They really do not give off that much light.

This unit replaces a normal light switch and is rated for 20 amps, so you should have no problem using it for a fireplace. We are very happy with ours. It controls our porch light from over 200' away.

If you have experience with painting tile or plastic surfaces you probably could. Would need to sand it, and use some kind of enamel paint or something. It's quite a nice look though to be honest. It's has good definition in the pattern unlike a cheap faux-marble.

Yes. Pretty interesting to use for heat distribution with a fan/ ceiling fans near a fireplace too.

The surround on this fireplace is black metal. The fireplace is recessed and tiled all around. It's a perfect piece for our faux fireplace. We received a lot of compliments!

ummmm not sure ... I purchased these for bathroom fans in 2 of my rental condo's over 2 years ago... I thought these were plastic covers, either way, either metal or plastic could be spray painted... BUT... fireplace may be too hot for plastic.... If you do find one that your going to paint, they make spray paints that are especially designed for Hot surfaces... Car Engines, Grills, ect ect ... I would use that...

Actually, that is exactly what we are using it with! As long as your insert protrudes from the fireplace about 10 inches or more it will work just fine!! Would you like a photo?

Sorry, I can't answer your question. I used this on gold curtain rods and it worked great and the color looked great too. I would get ahold of them (the manufacturer of Rust-Oleum) directly. Good Luck! If it could handle the heat...think about how many gold fireplace units could be updated as a DIY...WOW!

Joseph, if you are "not" going to use the fireplace at all during the winter, then using the plastic will work "if" you have four sides that you can tape to. It works "the best" if you have an "Air Pocket" between the fireplace and the plastic...just like a window ceil and the window has an air pocket. Hope this helps.

I use it with my electric fireplace. I had to teach the Harmony with the fireplace remote. It works great.

You can certainly use this indoors but I would be hesitant to use it without the proper fireproof enclosure of a fireplace inside. Outdoors no problem

As long as you can get it to stick, you should be fine. We used this on the pipe from our wood stove back to the chimney to turn it from silver to black, so I'd imagine it would work in other locations. you might need to clean thoroughly and sand first though. Try it and see how it works. The key is this is high temperature resistant paint, so it wont bubble and burn off.

you could but it has to be plugged in. so the cord would have to be plugged in. you would see the cord coming out of fireplace or you would have to install an outlet in the fireplace

I have used this product only in an enclosed fireplace (screened) , but you should check with the manufacturer about this question.

Yes it is safe to use around fireplacr. Make sure you get the fireplace one because it comes with 4 sections instead of 3 sections

I applied it only to the outside fireplace insert, so I do not know. I believe this paint is tested, however, to very high temperatures much higher than a wood fireplace. If it is properly cured I think it would be fine on the inside of the fireplace as well. Just check the manufacturer's claims as to heat tolerance and application. Hope this helps.
