 The paint has held up for 30 years. It looks wonderful. It still does, except for places where I've touched it up with a slightly different color paint. And I want to go over the whole thing, and I'm wondering what's the best paint to use to go over an already painted brick surface. Yeah. Well, obviously, the key to that is to remove the loose-fitting paint. So if you've got any paint... I power-washed it.
