I don't ever paint brick if hasn't been painted already.
I'll cover it up first. Just my 2 cents as no going back. I've seen people paint fireplaces before, seldom looks good in persom I think. |

not a fan of painted brick.
that looks like some rookie gave it a half assed attempt, and some later flaked off. exterior bricks need to breathe, if you paint them, they can't and later the paint will fail. |

Friend remodded a red brick house with the same treatment. Added wood shudders. Looks great, trick is to not go too heavy on it.

It's actually not paint guys, white mortar is used to get the look.
I LOVE the look, I think it is timeless. This was one they did one the outside of a house on the show fixer upper!!! LOVE this look. |

It's a really nice look when done right IMO.
When I was remodeling one of our rental properties I kept the brick in the kitchen exposed and it looks fantastic. It does make some dust so I've been pondering doing something with it. I've considered a smear effect or doing a clear coat over the top. Scott

Exactly! His was a old '70s house with red colored brick. It looks so modern now with the same upgrades. Completely different than any others around.
