[Shop-talk] Best paint for concrete block

[wmc_st at xxiii.com (Wayne)]

Hi Guys,

My Dad bought a new house recently, with 2 car garage / shop / basement on the 
lower level.

He wants to paint the concrete block walls for better lighting (reflectivity) 
and aesthetics. One wall is below grade, but has no signs of any moisture 
seepage in its 20 years, and the other is above (walk out.)

What's the best kind of paint to use? I am NOT a fan of the "DryLok" stuff, and 
moisture isn't an issue anyway. Is something like a plain semi-gloss latex a 
good choice?
