I rolled my brick house with a long nap roller, it got into all crevices without brushing and it came out great.

Good job , I am about to do the same with the old ugly brick wall in my house. gonna go for grey colour or white

thanks for getting right into the video, short and sweet, I appreciate it, the house looks great... very bold color btw

I already know that if you don't use the correct roller sleeve then it will not get into all of the nucks and cranies and that's the only reason I watched the video for advice on the best roller sleeve such as a ragg roller or a really thick pile sleeve but after watching it I think I was none the wiser but 15 minutes behind lol and I also think by adding just a small quantity of water or white spirits if its oil based, just to thin it down for the first coat cuz the bricks are really dry, just an idea, anyway for a person who has never tried to paint exterior walls good video to get them started.

Appreciate this video

I intend to paint around our main door over the brick veneer. But I want the grooves to remain unpainted - Just paint on the brick portion. What kind of roller would you recommend for that?

@Tannertraversed

2 жыл бұрын

A roller with a small nap, 13-15mm would suffice. You'd want a 1" nap if you wanted to fill in the grout lines.

Hows your brick today? I've been thinking about using this brick paint lmk thx

I still love driving up house looks cleanest most modern on 3 streets. Brick may have faded but I can't tell really looks great

Curious. Looks like you rollered first and cut in with the brush later. Do you ever cut in around corners and fixtures first and roller after that?

I almost always do it like that on interior walls, but when it comes to exteriors, i prefer to start in the center as you wont have any streaks due to the brick texture in this case. I finished this off after with a paint gun.

Here is how to paint the exterior of your brick house. Makeover your outdated orange brick by painting the outside of the house with BEHR masonry paint, brush and a roller. To speed things up you could rent a spray / paint gun. This is only to get you started, expect about 4 hours of painting per side to do it right without a spray gun. - enjoy!

I'll be painting a house as soon as it gets warm, i can't wait!

@@InvestorTheory go to home depot, get a nice quality roller that is very fluffy. Make sure it says "for concrete and masonry" I legit just did the outside of a house today, no joke. The thin ones have no play. Need a bigger fluff so when pushing harder it can help to fill those tiny holes. it's all about the pressure you apply, and having enough paint on the roller. it's ok to saturate the roller in a heavy amount of paint when doing brick. just not on drywall ect.

this looks like its in canada and i would even say ontario and i would even say richmond hill, maple, vaughan area?

First off, you ever roll a roller dry. Keep the roller wet with paint so it rolls good coverage the first time. Then go again and again until you’re finished. Use your brush for cut in’s.

@InvestorTheory

4 жыл бұрын

With Brick, its very difficult to get good coverage the first time or even twice over.

Another option is to go with an 18" roller/cover and 3/4" nap. Good work video, though.
