Hi Guys,
I'm after a bit of advice with regards to painting over external bricks that are showing signs of efflorescence.
We are planning on painting the bricks with Wattyl Solarguard as we are after a more "Olde Worlde" gloss smooth finish rather than the more modern matte/gritty/sandy finish that a lot of specific brick coverage products give. Our local Wattyl paint shop doesn't know of or have any advice/products regarding undercoating/prepping the bricks. We figured that rather than rushing in and slapping the paint on without doing our homework on the potential leeching (if that's the correct term) through afterwards it was worth the effort.
Would really appreciate your input on this one......
Thanks,
Lyndall
