One thing you may want to do if you live in an area that has older brick buildings, is to check out the front side and then wander around to the back side. Many builders saved money by using new brick on any side that would be facing the street. They used brick that was not up to the quality standards on the back and sides. I duplicate this by using some variation of freight car red all over. Get a gel pen at a craft store for color variations. I use white and black. Color individual bricks in a random pattern on any wall you want to show this less kept up wall surface. Use the grout mixture mentioned in the earlier post. Put on whatever signs you are going to use along with all details including window frames. Add some weathering other than grime, then coat the whole wall with a light coat alcohol india ink mixture. Try this on a DPM modular wall piece as a test. You will be amazed.
