I think the answer to your question depends where you are located combined with what are the traditional building methods of the area and available skill. In my part of the world, the San Francisco Bay Area, seeing brick buildings is unusual as it can be costly to make them seismically safe. If one happens to have a real brick wall or walls, it can be nice to expose and clean it to make it a feature as it is seen infrequently. Some of the brick construction here is done as a veneer over wood framing. If detailed property it can be convincing, if not, it can just look like it is a thin veneer just pasted on another wall. Seismic concerns aside, brick construction can be seen as durable and long lasting. The thickness and weight of brick adds to that perception.

Your question is about finishing the brick, yes? In a Tropical environment, a top coat or parge relieves the brick from defending itself against the sun. Left in its current condition the brick will start to deteriorate. So the easiest solution is to apply a stucco coat that will be three coats, scratch, texture and color. If you want to spend more $, you can apply fastening strips called furring strips that will allow you to apply any surface such as siding or tile. Good Luck and send us some after pictures.
