Refreshing the look of your brick walls can breathe new life into any space, and one popular technique is whitewashing.

But can you use ceiling paint to achieve this effect?

The answer might surprise you.

Contrary to common belief, ceiling paint is not the ideal choice for whitewashing brick.

While it may seem like a convenient option, ceiling paint is typically formulated to be thicker and more opaque, which can result in an uneven, blotchy finish when applied to the porous surface of brick.

The paint may also struggle to adhere properly, leading to premature peeling or chipping.

Instead, opt for a specifically designed whitewash paint or mixture. - https://ceilingtrends.com/blog/can-you-use-ceiling-paint-to-whitewash-brick/?unique_id_w6fe8adt
