Guest vin Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ive been painting the outside walls of the house with some of that black masonry Paint...some of the splashes that have been quickly rubbed off with a wet cloth have sort of stained the blocks the colour i would almost like... I'm imagining if I wattered some of it down and painted it on with a roller etc etc it could look interesting... I've rubbed at it with a wire brush and its soaked right into the brick..which by the way have been down well over 5 years. I'm really tempted to have a go..but if it wears off with vehicle traffic..it would probably look really bad.. I might go and do a test sample somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
