re: Painted brick exterior

No issues painting brick. It holds up well. I don’t know why the hate from everyone citing maintenance or a fad going out of style. (If that’s the reason to not paint, then why renovate anything? Everything goes out of style eventually, ie countertops, wall color, flooring, fixtures etc)

Even if you have to re-paint eventually, it’s much easier and more durable than hardy plank, vinyl siding, or stucco.
