Painting garage

Question

What paint is best for painting the inside of a garage? Would anything need doing with the walls before painting them? It’s just a normal concrete block garage.

Use a broom to brush any dust, webs etc off the walls.
Water down some Masonry paint (such as Sandtex) by a 3rd for your first coat to get in all the pores then finish with another 2 coats neat. 
Use a thick pile roller and brush and remember to put down sheets - the first coat will be messy.

Could use a waterproofing agent first and then paint or use a zinniser bull's eye 123 to protect from damp etc.

Christopher · Answer

I would recomend a good quality masonry paint - other than getting a smoother finish the walls can be rendered

Anthony · Answer

If not previously painted, use masonry paint following manufacturers instructions. 
If previously painted,  you could probably use emulsion.

Put pliolite masonry paint on . Dulux or crown will do. Thin it down a bit with turps and give it two coats. This paint dry's fast and will not come off like your other water based paints.

External paint would be best. Clean the surface of any dust, cobwebs and apply two coats
