Painting Bricks

so at the new house,

colin doesnt like how some of the walls were brown

we have a grey brick house but only 3 of the 4 sides are spray/baked with the grey colour
so one side is brown

so i took a spare brick to bunnings to get it colour matched
they mixed it up for me not 100% match but close enough

the colour looks lighter when wet but it drys abit darker in colour

 the brick and the paint lid

paint on the left side of the brick 

 the brown side of the garage

 as well as near the garage door

it does stand out abit.
so i tested out the paint on the smaller section above the door
 Before
 After
it looks alot lighter when the paint is wet
 the above the door dryed abit darker when i did the right side bit
see the colour diff?
 and the wall beside the garage door
 did the left wall last
the dryed part above the door looks darker
at least its all grey now :D
took me 6 hours of non stop painting to get it all done

now my right arm hurts :P repetitive stress injury
nothing a good sleep wont fix :D
