    I think it wil be easier to make the new ones look older to blend in with the rest of the house.


    Saw it done on DIY SOS the other week. Have a look at the link below

    Think the only way you are going to get the old bricks looking newer to sort of match in, is if you shot blast the whole house, which is going to cost you a hell of a lot more than one of these kits.
