Help... Can you apply vinyl to this type of brick?

With compressed air, blow all the dust off from, and out of the brick.
Try this with a small scrap piece:
Heat the brick only with a propane torch, using a large diameter tip. Apply vinyl while the brick is still warm. You'd be amazed.
If you're worried about the paint on the brick scorching, just keep the flame back.
Another idea is to use an infrared heater (Mr. Heater). Attach a hose between the heater and the propane tank and gently heat the wall.
You'd be surprised how well this works.
Heating the vinyl only does not work. You need the heat radiating from the brick to help activate the vinyl adhesive.

I've never cut these but we have printed graphics on material like this for a (giant) concrete/brick wall. looks like you can cut it too. Just for future reference.

8624 is the correct 3M product... I don't think 180's going to work, it's not going to be conformable enough. I'm not even sure how well the 8624 would work, I've only ever used it on painted brick so with that much debris I don't know.
And yes, like other people said, you need to heat the crap outta the wall.

UPDATE..
I was able to powerwash alot of the grit off and splatters. Waited a few days and then I applied. I heated the graphic through the application tape, and then once the app tape was off, heated the hell out of it.
