Default Painting vs. replacing vinyl siding ... ?

Yeah, that was a particular "look" for a while.

We are looking to change the color of the entire house to a particular
shade of very light, cream yellow (windows and trim would be white).

Painting the brick should obviously be no problem.


Yeah, but why would ya do it? I would reconsider the color -- find
something that makes a more subtle contrast with the brick than white (I
wouldn't choose a 'light cream yellow', for my money -- a nice green
perhaps), and I'm sure you'll be very pleased. Pay attention to
landscaping and the different layer won't be as noticeable.

But yellow painted brick? Yech. Especially when it begins to come off,
you'll really notice that.
