Installing River Rock over Brick around Fireplace

Hi, My first post, hope I am in the right spot.
My delema: I want to install river rock stone around my fireplace. Currently there is brick. Can I install the river rock on the PAINTED brick or should I install Durarock over the brick then the stone to the Durarock? Thanks for the help in advance.

Over Durarock, since it is painted.

Wire Mesh

I have seen on some of the instructions to use wire between the wall and the river rock. Is this necessary? Or can I just put them on the Durarock?

Thanks in advance!!!

Use latex modified thinset and attach them directly to the durorock, no wire required.
