Has anyone used frenchic to paint outdoor brickwork?

Our conservatory is hideous and a different brick to the house - looks terrible. I've seen on instagram that people have made theirs over using frenchic paint as you don't need to prime etc, but I'm dubious as they all seem to be paid adverts!

Have you noticed they only have good reviews on thier website and the fan forum, they sensor all bad feedback. Ask yourself howmany companies just have good feedback. Even the best companies have faults, but not Frenshic. I know some of their stockists call them Frenshite due to they way they treat them as well. The paint maybe OK (and only OK) but do you want to give money to a company who treat people like that.

I’d not do this, you need a proper maisonory /exterior paint, will look fine immediately and two weeks later you will be fucked.

Personally I would use a masonry paint designed for the job. Some of the coverage is poor on some of the furniture I’ve done so I can only imagine it would be worse on something it’s not designed to go on

Do not do this! Use proper masonry paint.

French chic is utter crap and not designed to be used outside

I haven't had great experiences with Frenchic. I really rate Zinsser All Coat exterior though
