I don't necessarily agree, but the house across the street from me painted

Then 12+ years later when the painted bricks need to be repainted it's even uglier.

Totally disagree. Some of the old red and orange bricks are hideous.

I have a friend that built a new house with the ugliest mismatched brick

I can’t remember when my dad first painted his house. Might have been around ’90

I have friends who are building a new brick home and immediately painting it

Tricky
