 So it's all preference, but it's perfectly fine to paint your brick. Just make sure you use a good primer before you put your paint on it. Personally, I have a brick house myself, and I painted mine. Okay. And I'll guarantee your brick longer than I will painting your wood siding because it sticks great. Good. Good. Nice. And now, is there special paints you need to use? I mean, are all paints the same?
