Product Information

Full details

Stonelux Fireplace Paint (Lamport 38) is for homeowners looking to refresh or update the look of their fireplace surrounds, hearths, or inglenook recesses without the cost of replacing the material. Its key benefit is creating a realistic, durable stone effect finish using a water-based, heat-resistant formula infused with real ground stone. A minor caveat is that the finish is dependent on proper application and surface preparation for optimal results.

FAQs

What surfaces can Stonelux Fireplace Paint be used on?

It can be applied to fireplace surrounds, back panels, hearths, inglenook recesses, and walls around gas, electric, and wood-burning stoves.

Is this paint suitable for direct flame contact?

No, Stonelux Fireplace Paint is designed for areas exposed to higher temperatures but not for surfaces in direct contact with flames.

How do I achieve a realistic stone finish?

The paint is infused with real ground stone for an authentic look. Proper application technique and ensuring adequate coverage with 2-3 coats will enhance the stone effect.

How should I clean the painted surface?

For dust and dirt, use a vacuum's brush attachment. For tougher marks, use a soft-bristled brush with soap and water, then rinse.

Can I spray this paint?

Yes, the paint is suitable for application by brush, roller, or spray.

What should I do if the paint doesn't stick?

Ensure the surface is properly prepared: clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking material. Sand glossy surfaces to create a key for the paint.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean used brushes and tools immediately after application with water.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and adequately prepared (e.g., sanded if previously glossy) before application.

Uneven stone effect finish

Practice application on a test area. Ensure even pressure and consistent strokes with your chosen applicator (brush, roller, or spray).

Paint seems too thin or streaky

Allow the first coat to dry completely and apply a second or third coat as needed for full coverage and desired stone depth.

Difficulty cleaning the surface

Use a soft brush and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Sand down any glossy finishes to provide a key for adhesion.

Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Two or more coats may be necessary to achieve the desired depth of stone effect. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions.
