Hello to all.
I have a all brick rancher.. The brick is not an attractive color brick-I have seen homes that are painted a faded white color-but has worn areas, which has red brick showing though--
these houses were painted in the last year or so...is the paint sand blasted in areas to create the illusion that the wall is weather beaten? or it it wiped off...?
Thank you in advance for any info you can share.

You can paint the brick and then take a wrasp and file the brick to show signs of wear. Good Luck!
My painted brick house was built in 1888 and I don't think it's ever been re-painted. It has a deep porch, and where the brick has been protected, it has the wonderful aged look you're talking about. I'd like to repaint the remainder of the brick (after repointing) and would like it to blend with the aged areas. Maybe the pressure washing technique would work.
Sorry about the posting mistakes, I'm new here. Great info, thanks!
