This video exist for people like me. Our new home has faux brisk on the wall I. T He kitchen but the last owners painted it solid grey. I want to make it look like brick again. Gonna combine this and another video to get the look I want.i know some people don't get why you painted it all one color first but in my case it is why I needed. Thanks
Good question... In the corners roll as close as you can on an angle towards the corner then away from the corner, then roll horizontally as close as you can to blend, then on an angle again. Whatever spots are not painted or did not blend well use a brush to paint each brick by dabbing the brush with the different colors on each brick till it matches the rest.
Would this technique work on a real exterior brick wall? I have a half brick wall on front of house that has been painted several times over the years. I would love to make it look like real brick again!
That all depends... if the bricks are fairly even on the face I don't see why not. If there is a lot of uneveness to the brick, the roller will skip a lot. There's really only one way to know for sure... give it a try!
Continuing with the outdoor brick, what colors would be good to create grayish color brick? What mortar color? This to go with either light to medium gray vinyl siding. Not sure red brick will look good
I can't pick out colors for you because "grayish" is so subjective. My advice to you would be to look at brick walls on google images, then print the ones you love and take them to the paint store and begin to match colors to the brick... in my classes I tell my students to gather reference photos to share their ideas and to really see what they are trying to do, then use that as a jumping off point for decision making. Be sure to get at least one deep color, and 2 others. The more punchy the colors the better. Muddled colors don't look as good. Be sure to select a good mortar color that compliments the brick colors. Also flat would look more realistic. Good Luck!
What are the colors you used in this video? Love those. I saw you listed 4 colors in another answer. Which three did you use for the video? Is the dark color "dressed to impress" or "Death by chocolate"?
@@sunshinetv2419 Can you use semi-Gloss and it still look good? I know you said to use flat paint, but this will be in a room with lots of kids and lots of hands!
@@frankborst5099 Yes, you can use semigloss. I prefer flat because it looks more realistic on our sets. The semigloss may slide around a bit more but it should be fine. You could even try an eggshell sheen. It's easy to wipe as well. BTW, Sherwin Williams makes a scrubbable flat paint.
In some instances we just leave the brick painted white... this technique is a quick and easy method for changing the brick to a color that suits the look you are going after. When the entire wall is done it looks fantastic!
You can get the panels at Home Depot or Lowes. You may have to call around. It seems only certain stores stock it. As far the command strips. I'm not sure how well they would hold. The panels are made of masonite so they are quite heavy and flexible. You would also need to line the velcro tabs up exactly to match when pushed together. The back of the panel is also a bit fuzzy which the adhesive may have trouble adhering to. If you do try the command strips I would use quite a few. Let me know how it goes.
I used Behr colors- Dressed to Impress (maroon), Death by Chocolate (Red/brown), Kalahari Sunset (deep orange), Flaming Torch (light orange), Safari Chic (Taupe, mortar color)- Be sure to get them in flat- you can be creative with the colors, I find deep, saturated colors work best
You could prime it.... we don't need it in our world... the paint covers fine, colors don't bleed thru and the paints sticks long enough for us to shoot our short film. (then we tear it down and build something else) If you're concerned about adhesion then you could use a paint with a built in primer, or use a binding primer then paint over that. I have found that regular paint seems adhere just fine though.
Looks great! Props to the person whistling the Star Wars score in the background.

I wish this video was longer so I could see the finished product
Rolling at a 45 might work well for the middle of the wall, but what about the corners and edges?
Good question... In the corners roll as close as you can on an angle towards the corner then away from the corner, then roll horizontally as close as you can to blend, then on an angle again. Whatever spots are not painted or did not blend well use a brush to paint each brick by dabbing the brush with the different colors on each brick till it matches the rest.
Mind Blown

@@sunshinetv2419 Thanks!
What colors were used for this video?
I love this idea
Thanks! This is our go-to technique for changing up the colors of the brick on all of our sets! It's fast, easy, looks awesome!
Wow superb bro

I honestly don't remember... if the colors are rich and deep, almost any combo would do the trick.
I am definitely going to do this wall!

Looked better as white painted brick.

Where can I purchase the panels? Can I use 3m command Velcro strips to attach to the wall?

Hi can you tell me what colors you used for this ?
I listed them in one of my other previous replies... but most any deep saturated colors will do!
... so the brick was red then he painted it gray and then painted it red
Jay pal I am also confused. The bricks was quite realistic before he painted them white 😕
Agree.
He did that to get the mortar to be a light color. It was black when he started.

Sunshine TV hey but I only see three buckets you gave me four colors I'm lost I luv the work by the way
I believe the red that I am using is Death by Chocolate- but either red would work... the brick would simply be a different shade of maroon

Shaggy?
Wow!
Primer??

Sunshine TV thank you so much 😊
That's not good, it's orange
