Repainting brownstone facade / exterior

Hello,

My husband and I are looking to repaint the facade of our brownstone. What products and methods do you recommend? Does anyone have any experience using therocoat or elastomeric paint?

Thank you!!

Brownstone is sandstone, it’s soft. Painting traps water inside and over time will cause damage to the sandstone and it will flake and crumble. I painted my stoop once and wish I hadn’t. The proper way to make repairs is to mix color to cement.
