Sometimes you are confronted with previous owner’s renovations, which can include painted brick. Or you might have had a problem with unplanned or possibly inappropriate graffiti. Removing paint from brick is a laborious process, but there is an alternative solution: paint over it with something better. You might not be a Banksy, but armed with stencils from your local gift shop, perhaps a floating wall or even a trellis, you can quickly turn that unsightly splotch of paint that was used to cover a prankster’s unsightly doodling into a work of art.
