It’s been done since the 1800s, but it wasn’t being done on new houses, at least in this area, till recently.
People saw Joanna Gains do it next to some shiplap on an old house then it started popping back up. Contractors found out they can put the cheapest ugliest bricks they make, even mix-matched, paint them charging the same price.

Thanks mate. The how to video linked on the Home Depot site suggested spraying water on the first coat in order to form a pattern. Wipe off method looks WAY better in comparison.

I did both actually. First you hose the brick to get it wet then using a mason brush, brush on the lime wash. Depending on temps don’t let it sit too long then take a hose and spray it. You will see as you go if you want to use the wet rag and take more off or apply more.

If prepped properly (this is where most people screw up) and painted with a high-quality exterior latex paint / elastomeric coating, you can get an extremely low maintenance finish. Clean / wash as needed just like any exterior surface.
