Masonry Paint

[Chubbs]

Im looking as putting my house on the market and thought I would give the front a bit of a spruce, one thing that needs doing is the outside wall..well not the wall itself but the white concrete blocks on top of it. Also the concrete window ledges need doing too. I was wondering what paint would be best to use on this. There seems to be so much out there. Just plain white will do.

It may be radical thinking, but masonry paint does work well on masonry.

I've used weathershield in the past

I worked on and off as a painter for ten years, and the only things I 'd say to someone who's going to have a bash are don't buy cheap paint, and don't use cheap brushes.

There endeth the lesson.

Depends on the level of finish you require. As you are not staying long term at the house a pliolite primer and pliolite finish may be over kill. In which case a bog standard waterbased masonary will be fine from one of the brand leaders, from a trade outlet rather than the retail stuff made to a price from B&Q. Lastly paint is not paint the quality does vary.

How about pebbledash or a bit of stone cladding
