Looking for temporary paint for exterior brick wall

6 years ago

I do not like the red brick on my back exterior. My backyard and pool area are very modern and i want to paint one of the exterior brick walls that is kind of the focal point of the patio area maybe a black or maybe even paint a mural on it. But for resale purposes that would not be a good decision. I am wondering if there is any paint that i can use and be able to take it off if we ever decide to sell the house. Thank You

No. Leave it alone.

Sophie's right. Leave the brick alone. There isn't a removable paint.

But. Have you considered hanging something in front of the brick that would take your eye away from it? Or using exterior velcro to attach a lattice painted black? That way you can remove it without the brick being changed. To get a modern look with the lattice, find one that has square shapes, not diamonds. (see picture below from Home Depot) Use exterior paint for whatever you mount on the brick.
