Satin white (brick), dark blue satin (trim, shutters & doors)
About This Exterior Painting Project in Mason
Painted brick is having a real moment — and this Mason home shows exactly why. It started as ordinary red brick and ended as a crisp, modern statement: satin white brick with dark blue satin on the trim, shutters, and doors.
Painting brick the right way is not a weekend project. Brick is porous, so it has to be sealed with a masonry primer first, then finished with two solid coats — otherwise the paint won’t hold. Done properly, the transformation is dramatic and durable. This one went from dated to designer, and it turns heads on the street.

Exterior Painting Questions — Mason
Can you really paint brick, and will it last?
Yes — painted brick lasts when it’s done correctly. The key is preparation: brick is porous, so it must be cleaned and sealed with a masonry primer, then finished with two coats of the right paint. Done that way, as we did here, the finish bonds properly and holds up for years.
Why does brick need a masonry primer first?
Brick and mortar are highly absorbent and can be alkaline, which will cause ordinary paint to fail. A masonry primer seals the surface, blocks that absorption, and gives the finish coats something stable to grip — it’s the single most important step in a lasting painted-brick job.
Is painting brick reversible if I change my mind later?
Practically speaking, painting brick is a long-term commitment — removing paint from brick is difficult and can damage it. That’s exactly why doing it correctly the first time, with the right prep and quality coatings, matters so much. When it’s done well, you won’t want to reverse it.
What color combination did you use on this home?
The brick was finished in a satin white, with the trim, shutters, and doors in a dark blue satin. That high-contrast white-and-navy pairing is a modern classic that makes the architecture pop and gives the home a fresh, upscale look.
