painting interior brick to look chalky

[kristens]

hi guys!!!
i am trying to paint and old brick interior, of 900 sq feet to a warm, chalky or more brick like chalk like texture. i was told that acrylic paint mixed with something that sounded like "cyme" was the way to go. i plan on putting on a clear masonry sealer, then because the brick is quite uneven, old and dark, put on a velvety warm wash on it. any advice/ suggestions?

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
