Taken 25 July. A darker shade of red is going up on the heritage building. My trusty Farrow&Ball app says that it is either ‘Rectory’ or ‘Incarnadine!’

All this effort painting and repainting could have been avoided if they simply used red bricks for the repairs in the first place... Or just dye the mismatching bricks instead of painting it all blood red?
I don't get why they did this. How could Heritage allow such desecration?

Yeah, so great they already have to redo it. And won't be the last time since painted brick flakes.

...I think it was said somewhere the paint being used here is a more cost effect and a better alternative in preserving the brick, for what that's worth.

Perhaps we should wait to see the results before we go all Chicken Little.

I already showed why they painted it, they used the wrong brick colour for the repairs. And paint doesn’t preserve brick, it actually traps moisture which will cause spalling. It was already in good condition before the paint anyway.
What results? They’ve ruined it.

Though some do not like the paint job, I think it looks fantastic and if you use the right kind of paint it still allows the bricks to 'breath'.
Is this project complete?
