False Bricks
I put makeup on the facade of this Normandy style house situated in the courtyard of a private mansion (town house) in Paris. The masons, after installing some pipes, patched up the hole. The dark red patches were left from former workers although why they bothered coloring the concrete is baffling. The guys I spoke to asked me if they should also tint their cement but really, a gray patch doesn't seem any more offensive than the dark red ones.
Anyway, these panels are made up of false bricks. I just had to repaint them and redo the joints. I filled in the brick color than painted in the mortar the following day with a ruler and a bevel brush using a whitish/gray/ slightly pink color. All in acrylics and permanent. Just call me fast and furious!
