I live in a brick home that is 75 years old. I have had to replace masonry
several times due to deteration. None of the repairs has matched the
original masonry.

I thought maybe painting the house would help seal the old masonry and cover
the redone masonry. I practically like all of the painted brick homes that I
have seen.

What is the best method of painting brick? It is a two story house so I
don't plan on doing the job myself but would like to make sure the paint
contractor does it right. Help would be appreciated.



I have seen very few of these done right, and those that looked
reasonably good were done with 2 part epoxy coatings or Imron. It was
due to the ability to get rid of graffiti off an Imron surface that one
building in the city was done this way.
