It is evident that brass fireplace screens were the norm. These brass-colored screens appear to be present in every home built during the ‘80s.

Instructions:

Began by sanding all of the brass parts both inside and outside with sandpaper 150-grit. When applying paint to metal surfaces, you shouldn’t sand too much. It’s better to go overboard with the sanding rather than not doing enough. Paint will last less on surfaces that are slippery. (Keep on your toes that when doors are opened and the doors are open, any brass that is on the back that is exposed to the elements will be visible. These areas must be sanded, too! )

Then tape off all the bricks and glass in the same direction as the brass. Once more open them and tape off both the interior of the doors too.

After everything is taped off, now it’s ready to paint. The benefit of high-temperature paint is that there is no primer required. Apply the paint directly on the metal that has been sanded.

Don’t use the brushes that are cheap have extremely stiff bristles. Considering that high heat paint can be quite thinner and more fluid than regular paint, it’s recommended to select a brush with softer bristles that are more flexible and flexible.

The directions for high-temperature paint state that it’s recommended to use just only one coat. If used a poor-quality brush that had stiff bristles, you will end having to apply three coats in order to cover the entire area.

It’s that easy! The process of painting your fireplace’s brass screen is simple and fast and will make a huge difference in improving the look of your fireplace.
