0; We bave re-sided and veeshingled our home and now the colour of the brick planter and the brick fireplace chimucy don’t go with the ‘new look’. Can we paint the bricks? Do they have to be cleaned Sirst? What is the procedure and what ure the products we should use if this is a Seasible praject? » Wash the brick chimney and planter with my ® Shell Busey’s Home Cleaning Formula and ® cinse well. When surface is still damp apply Ist coat of acrylic latex masonry paint ic. Cloverdale Paint or Behr Paint (your colour choice). Start by brushing the joints with a polyester or nylon brush then roll the face of the brick with 30mm lambs wool roller. Keep the brick surface damp as you work ahead during the first coat. 2nd coat just apply in the same mannétr damp surface is not requiced. Don’t do this project in the sunshine.
