This isn't a great quality picture - it's taken with digital zoom on an iPhone from King and Ontario, so there's some artifacts - but I think it's clear enough to show how the paint is wearing or fading in some spots already.

Cheap paint -- I wonder if they used the wrong type...

Yeah, something about this process definitely seems to have been done incorrectly. When I went back to look at some of the earlier pictures to figure out the timing it was obvious that the brick was old and crumbling. I wonder if they didn't treat it properly before applying paint and if that's the case we might be seeing the brick continuing to decay, taking the paint with it.
