Our house is like this buttery yellow colored vinyl siding with red brick. I hate it, I think it's so ugly. I want to paint the house a nice mint green & the shutters & brick a deep chocolate brown. The roof is like this brown/black speckled color.
But I keep reading were people say not to paint brick. Why not? If you can't paint it then is there some other way to like turn it from red to brown? I love the mint green color but I don't want it to look like a Christmas tree because of the red bricks.
It's really just the red bricks that are the problem. I hate the way they look, they just look ugly to me. I like natural earth tone colors, like greens & browns. Hence the mint green & chocolate brown. I don't want the siding to be brown because then it would blend into the roof but I want to change the color of the siding from the ugly buttery yellow to something nicer looking & I can't do that with red brick.
I don't plan on doing it too soon. I won't have money for it until at least Christmas & I don't want to mess with it in zero degree weather. So its gonna be a spring job preferably, maybe a summer job if need be. So, how to paint brick?
