We recently purchased our first home and it has a beautiful brick fireplace. The previous owners just had it painted to a light grey. I'd like it to paint it a crisp white. Can I just paint right over the grey where it's brand new? Or should I sand first then paint? I was reading that it's important for bricks to be able to "breathe" under the paint. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2nFKY3y
