Painting over already glossed bricks

Hi! Unfortunately the previous owners like varnished the fireplace which I hate. I imagine undoing this is extensive so I’ve decided to go with the easier route of painting over. My question is does it need to be sanded first or…? Here’s what it looks like I’m not exactly sure what type of coating it is submitted by /u/jeepthroat [link] [comments]
