People who have painted their BRICK house black or dark charcoal, show me your inspo please!

Also, before I get comments on painting brick, it's already painted an ugly Primrose yellow, so a facelift is much needed.

Any tips for painting over already painted brick (and not bare brick) are very welcome.

I’ve painted our axon cladding in Dulux Black Caviar (satin) on our new extension… which isn’t finished yet!.

Plus on new cladding down the side. But I’m loving the colour.

We painted ours Woodland Grey, really pleased with it, not too dark.

Monument we didn't want it black black... bit it is dark enough to make a statement.

I didn’t paint brick but I did use monument.

In regards to the colours you’re holding. I found namadji extremely brown, wayward grey was very purple, monument throws a grey/blue. We’ve ended up with domino.

Klavier was just a bit too deep for what we wanted.

Don't miss: Has anyone put James Hardie cladding on their older brick house and can share some pictures?

Namadji is pretty brown. I’d steer away from that if you wanted black.

Ours was painted Domino by the previous owners so no tips to share, but I will say I love the colour. It was previously yellow too, before photo in comments.

Good luck!

Our render is painted monument and honestly I wish we hadn’t.

The paint doesn’t look at good as other colours you can see all the brush strokes/roller strokes. And it gets really hot.

There is an interior designer named Maria Killam who has a whole series on Insta and YouTube at the moment that talks about choosing exterior house colors.
