Coverage is approximately 8m2 per litre per coat depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.  

Apply using a Farrow & Ball masonry brush and/or a paint roller. 

Painting Exterior Brickwork:

• Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry may be used on exterior brickwork – with the exception of Fletton bricks – but we recommend taking a few extra precautions before and during application.
• Make sure all dirt, mould, salts and other visible contaminants are removed with a wire brush or specialist cleaner, ensuring the brickwork is fully dry before applying any coatings.
• We also recommend checking that all mortar is fully cured before painting.
• Extra care should be taken when painting solid brick exterior walls, and any walls that aren’t damp-proofed, as loss of adhesion may occur and salts may appear.
• Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry is supplied ready for use, but water may be added at a 10% ratio to assist application on sound bare surfaces.
• We do not recommend the use of Farrow & Ball Masonry & Plaster Stabilising Primer, as this is not intended as a general primer for sound brick surfaces.

Painting Terracotta:

• The following Farrow & Ball finishes may be applied to terracotta: Exterior Masonry, Full Gloss and Exterior Eggshell – 2 coats may be applied directly (allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats). 

For more application instructions, please see the Product Advice Sheet.
