Question painting exterior brick

I will be painting exterior brick and want to know how to apply the paint. I know what paint to use but what tools do I use to apply it? Thanks, James

Is the brick already painted? When home inspection clients ask about painting brick, I suggest they read BIA's Technote 6 here first.

Welcome to the forums James!

While an airless can make the job quicker/easier, you need a thick nap roller [1.5"] to either apply or backroll [if spraying]the paint/primer.
