I went to Michael's tonight and bought a small bottle of Liquitex acrylic paint, "Titanium White", to paint over brick walls to simulate mortar. After washing the pieces in warm water and dishsoap and watering the paint down some, I slopped it on the walls, waited a little while for it to dry, then wiped it off with a damp paper towel. I'm not getting perfect results but things don't look too bad so far on the taxpayer building I'm working on. So, is this how it's done? Or is there an easier, more effective way? <br /> <br />After the pieces have dried I will spray over everything with a coat of Testor's Dullcote in a few days. Then I will attempt to weather it some with pastel chalks I also bought at Michael's. The problem is, though, is that they were out of black and gray pastel chalks so I bought the earthtone ones. Will using the earthtone ones work OK or should I wait and do the weathering in black and gray pastel chalks? <br /> <br />Am I heading in the right direction with the painting of the mortar, though???
