Painted brick can offer a timeless and beautiful look, but if you want the best results possible, you shouldn\u2019t head into the process without the proper knowledge beforehand. Here are three key things you should keep in mind if you\u2019re thinking about an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumpaintingfortworth.com\/brick-painting.html\">exterior brick makeover<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan Things Carefully<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many reasons for wanting to undergo an exterior brick makeover, but one reason that homeowners love this option is the amount of control they\u2019re granted when it comes to the final results. Since you can select virtually any color or shade you\u2019d like, the possibilities are endless\u2014but you\u2019ll want to plan carefully. Consider colors or schemes that compliment your home or project\u2019s architecture, as well as the surrounding landscapes and other structures (even neighboring homes). Don\u2019t hesitate to test out samples, either. And for what it\u2019s worth, shades of white are a popular choice for brick these days, especially if you have later plans to sell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Brick Must Be Clean and Uncompromised<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be unwise to spend a great deal of time, money, and effort repainting a brick surface that you didn\u2019t realize was actually degrading and deteriorating! Once you\u2019ve done your research and picked out a paint that suits your needs, the brick needs to be thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure that there aren\u2019t any present issues. Be particularly vigilant about mold and mildew areas, as well as spots with chips or cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Special Primer Is Needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also know that a special type of primer formulated specifically for masonry will be required before the paint can be applied to the brick, but this is done to guarantee the best possible look and finish. These primers seal the underlying brick and protect it from moisture or anything else that might compromise it and ruin the look of your final product! Once this primer is totally dry, the paint you\u2019ve chosen can finally be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Platinum Painting of Fort Worth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Platinum Painting of Fort Worth, we\u2019ve helped hundreds of homeowners across the DFW metroplex achieve spectacular results for all kinds of different projects and undertakings, including exterior brick painting.
