Painting a slate fireplace surround?

Smurfin · 6 Jul 2009

Hi all

I our living room we have an old edwardian fireplace, which is big and very black. We are toying with the idea of painting the surround white, but I've discovered this is made of slate. Any idea how successful this would be? Any suggestions as to which primer we should use?

cheers
Matt
