Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Feb 09, 2013Really does not matter what type of paint you use, but I would suggest getting a better quality latex paint for the process. A think roller pad and perhaps some throw away brushes as the rough surface of the brick could wear the better brush bristles down.Helpful Reply
