A styrene building next to the Downtown Deco building is a challenge to the brick paint job. My standard brick painting is boxcar red primer from the rattle can and a light gray mortar wash. That results in a very uniform and dark surface. I tried the same technique as used with the plaster building with the styrene building. It got a layer of white primer and then several layers of diluted brown followed by a black wash. The resulting surface is more similar to the plaster surface and not as slick and perfect. I think I will continue to work with that technique on styrene structures.

Same technique for the other building
