Before proceeding with the painting of a brick surface, it is necessary to clean the walls well with a mechanical way (spatula, iron brush) from the residues of cement mortar and saline growths. Then you need to thoroughly rinse with water from the hoses of the wall from dirt and dust.
Then a special cleaner is applied to the wet surface of the walls, and after five minutes, rinse it with an iron brush. After that, the preparation of the walls is completed, and you can start staining a brick house. Do not rush to buy latex paints that are designed for facades, as they tend to crumble very quickly.
In order to give a brick natural appearance, it is best to use polyurethane paint, which will last you about twenty years.
After the paint itself is applied to the brick. You can dye the wall with a roller, a brush-painted, but these methods are suitable only for lovers, since in such ways to paint well and neatly a brick wall will not work. To get an excellent result, you need to use fur from old boots, for example, which is made as a bag on the hand. Put on a rubber glove, and this bag on top, and you can proceed to staining.
At the same time, the fur must be natural, since the artificial can crumble or dissolve. If the fur is long, then it needs to be cut so that the length of the pile is no more than 10mm.
