Hey! I'd love to know if there's a way to preserve or transplant something from a really old painted brick wall. We have a mural that's probably 10-15 years old. It's got a couple kids handprints on it that we'd love to find some way to either save on the wall or some way to get the paint off to transplant it off the brick wall to somewhere else. I don't even know if that is possible. I'd love your ideas on how that could be done.
This sounds very interesting! Unfortunately I don't have any idea of transferring paint from a brick wall to something else. I'm afraid any attempt to remove it while preserving shape will result in damaged brick.
The Latex paint I used had primer in it. But, generally it wasn't really necessary for this (especially since the brick is inside, won't have any weather effects).
Hey there! For the finer details around the borders of the letters, we were using a 1/4 of an inch size brush, sometimes a 1/8 of an inch size if we felt like we needed to round out curves.
Hey there! With respect to the client, I won't say the exact amount, but I will give a range: between $500-800 dollars. Since this is only one color (white), I take that into account, as well as the supplies I need (paint, brushes, etc). As well as the size. This was a little over 7 feet tall, so it was a big mural.
It depends on if you are looking for a permanent mural or not. You can try out vinyl on brick, but I feel like taking it off will be just as messy/hard to get off.

Are you painting a mural soon? 👀 Let me know!
About to send in a propsal for a brick wall mural-thanks so much for sharing these tips!
Looks amazing even better in person!
Thanks bro! Super happy with how it came out, and was an honor to get to do it.
Very helpful
So glad to hear that!
Would you use a primer if you did this outside?
Usually the latex paint should be fine on it's own, even on the ground. You can also get paint with primer already mixed in.

Did you lay down primer first?

@@VincitDesignCo thank you! I’m about to do an interior mural and was wondering about the primer.
whats the size of the smallest brush you showed

Hi, what paint would you use if the brick wall is already painted?
Great question! I would still go with latex paint. It's strong and dries nicely on top of old paint.
Great! Thank you!
How much did you charge for that?

is this mural reversible? I heard paints are damaging to the brick

So you don't prime the brick first, because you're using latex paint...
It's also inside, so the likely hood if there being some sort of intense scratching or liquid hitting it is unlikely.
I don't know if this is a mural. This is just lettering on a wall. This is not even a painting. This is like saying a big wheel is a Camaro.
A mural doesn't always need to have lots of colors and illustrations.
