[quote=Anonymous]How old is your house, OP, and what condition is your masonry in? I'm not a fan of the dark red fireplace brick either. I would say yes to painting the brick, but be forewarned that brick is porous and it's hard to go back. Also, if you have any masonry issues (efflorescence, for example) painting can make it harder to detect. Painting can also encourage moisture retention within the wall which could cause damage, but this is usually only a problem on the exterior and in older homes.[/quote]
