I used Bricodepot cheapest Pliolite for my facade back in must have been 2010, its still looking good but the Ton Pierre has a few rain stains now.

I wanted to get the same colour and texture of the original bricks so I experimented with tinting it with brick dust (from the cuts I made with a disqueuse) and then Red mortar colorant powder, the latter when painted on looked Barbie Pink, when I went to rub off the sample I had just put up (it was still wet) the powder spread into the surface and left the exact colour and texture I wanted.

I then found I could achieve the same by putting it on with a roller and then spreading it out until the roller became completely dry, like trying to finish a wall or ceiling when you have run out of paint. That made it really economical and only cost something like €30 which I think bought 2 tubs back then.

The red brick finish still looks superb, in fact even better now it has mellowed.
