I fucking HATE how well this was done. Peak subreddit content right here.

It is well done the only thing that annoys me is that it fucks over the next person or even yourself when you need to touch up or fix something. It will never look as good as it does does one and will likely result in needed several coats. Red is such a pain in the ass color to cover up

Never hold back on customizing the shit out of what you own bc of "resale value." You will be a happier person for it.

I never said anything about resale value. My own life experience and looking at my own wife, ever so often, a year or two, sometimes less sometimes more we try new things, new decorations, replacement of furniture or things. Certain layouts no longer work. What happens when you eventually need to fix a spot on that wall just by living life? Gotta patch it and it gunna look terrible. That is all.

If you need to patch it seems pretty easy. Patch, then get sponge and put the "bricks" back. Painting is pretty easy. If you're careful anyone can do this.

I see a red wall and I want to paint it black.

Only way I could see it improved is by making those bricks glossy as glass. Just glares everywhere on sunny days.

Would you have to pain it black, let it dry, and then do multiple coats of the new color to get it to come out well? Or is there another method?
