[Shop-talk] Best paint for concrete block

[bk13 at earthlink.net (bk13)]

Wayne - I painted my old house - stucco and poured concrete foundation - with 
BEHR Interior/Exterior Masonry, Stucco and Brick Paint.  It worked well and 
still looked good 9 years later when we sold the house.  I sprayed it undiluted 
with a Wagner Power Painter.
