That's a neat idea!

You'd have to be real careful doing it in neighborhoods near me, though -- not because the folks around here aren't progressive enough, but because brick pavements are "historic" and they'd get mad if you painted them any color. You'd have to go find one of the spots where they needed new paving and put in stamped concrete fake brick instead.

The bricks will last longer than any paint they are covered in. Hell, adding a layer of paint will help the bricks last even longer. The things that are the worst for a brick road/walkway are being walked or driven on (and the rain, which might be the worst of all).

Yep. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
