Can you tell which is actual old brick and mortar and which wall section is fully painted? You should because I deliberately wanted the two to appear just different enough because the existing brick wall was just a little too light for my liking. The other reason: the homeowners cook A LOT & needed the wall to be washable. I finished off the painting by adding a top coat of clear gloss (water based) varnish so that repeated wiping was possible without destroying the finish (soft sponge w/dish soap clean up).
