Any other idea on how to remove the paint from the stone and grout/mortar?  How would I go about faux painting it?  Thanks so much!</p>scubagirl214scubagirl21445questionMon, 25 May 2009 20:49:36 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Natural_stone_fireplace_painted_4958773179471/?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/Natural_stone_fireplace_painted_4958773179471/situation_nbsp_movie_company_filmed_495207237567110?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>We had the same situation.  A movie company filmed a movie in our house and wanted true stone colors on our white painted flagstone fireplace. Their design artist used acrylic paints ( in tubes)  matching flagstone rock colors. She hand rubbed each stone with a rag using various muted colors...the results were a fantastic warm look instead of the white sterile look.  It was a bit time consuming...took her 1 day, But we loved It.  We actually had a dual sided fireplace and she graciously did the other side for us as well.</p>DDSDDS52answer3.0Tue, 26 May 2009 00:12:08 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Natural_stone_fireplace_painted_4958773179471/situation_nbsp_movie_company_filmed_495207237567110?src=rss:qb:qbi
