Painting a mural on brick can be pretty daunting, especially if you are beginner at painting murals. But as long as you have the right tools, you'll be set up for success! So I wanted to share some tips for how my wife and I finished up one of our brick murals for a local coffee shop called Summer Moon! It was a ton of fun, pretty challenging, and of course, very rewarding. In this video, I share the tools we used to get the job done, from paint brushes and paint, to different tips and hacks for making sure all of your letters and curves are super straight and precise. By the way, with the cleaning rags, definitely expect to throw them away after use. The brick is going to leave reside, but the point is getting the brick to be as dust free as possible, so sacrificing the rag is super worth it.

One thing I did forget to mention in the video is the different between painting brick outside and inside. For this project, obviously it was inside since it was inside the coffee shop, but the tips honestly apply the same for outside. The only thing you'll need to think about is how the weather will affect the mural that's on the outside. And this just determines the strength of paint you need, or if you need to go over your mural with a stronger sealant. For latex paint, I would just visit your Home Depot, Lowes, or a local paint store. It shouldn't be more than about $30 a gallon in whatever color you need! Obviously it might get a little pricey if you need a whole bunch of colors, but you could also try just regular acrylic paint for details and seal it with something like Krylon or something else to make it all weather proof.

Hey! I'd love to know if there's a way to preserve or transplant something from a really old painted brick wall. We have a mural that's probably 10-15 years old. It's got a couple kids handprints on it that we'd love to find some way to either save on the wall or some way to get the paint off to transplant it off the brick wall to somewhere else. I don't even know if that is possible. I'd love your ideas on how that could be done.
