[Shop-talk] Best paint for concrete block

[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.
