Brick Paint?

Melonade

Hi,

I've got a large brick shed that I'm planning on painting soon. Can anyone recomend a decent paint for it that won't flake off please. I'm going to paint it red because it's already red so it should make it a bit easier.

OH thinks garage floor paint will do but tbh it's a bit pricey and obviously I want to do it as cheap as possible

Thanks.

Hi Melonade

I used a matt brick & tile paint from Wilkinsons on my brickwork...think it was about £18 for 2.5 litres. Done the job and has not peled off in two years despite being in a quite exposed location.

You could try masonry paint but you might need to apply a stabilising solution first depending on the condition of your brickwork....that's when it can work out pricey! If the brickwork is ok, I believe ASDA have masonry paint on special offer although I don't know what the quality is like.

Good luck!

Thanks

I'll nip to Asda first and check what they have and try Wilkies too as it's just round the corner. The Wilkies website have a 2.5 litre brick red paint for £20 with a good high performance claim... but I'll read the back first to see if I need the stabilising solution you mentioned
