Correct way to paint a chimney and mantle. Prep is so important. Mask, dust rocks, sand mantle, vacuum or sweep away all dust, prime rocks and mantel with high bonding primer. Cover mantel, spray chimney with two coats of paint in desired sheen, we used flat in Shoji White, Sherwin Williams 7042. When that is dry, paint the mantel. It’s a good idea to mask around in case the black drips. We used Tricorn Black Sherwin Williams 6258.
