Varnishing bricks?

kelbal

Hi guys,
I've laid a line of some red building bricks in the garden (see pic below) as a border between grass and gravel. They look great when wet, but they dry out a dusty white, not so great. I was very careful to keep them clean when setting in place. I'd like to keep the vibrant red there all the time. Is it possible to coat these bricks in some sort of varnish, or PVA so the nice red is visible all the time? Whats the easiest/cheapest solution?
Thanks

You could use this:

But you would need to paint every brick individually..

Yes, painting them like that would take ages, and I think painted bricks look a bit crap. Just looking for something I can lash on quickly to bring up the already nice natural colour.

This is probably what you need - a wet look seal
