Planning on painting my cinderblock foundation and need info .

Hi there, they make specific paints for masonry like that that would last longer then any other type of paint.

First thing you must get a sealer to seal the cinder block. I believe that they make a special paint for cinder block. Your local hardware, Lowe's, or home Depot will be able to help.

Hello. Cinderblock is a porous material and prior to painting requires a concrete and masonry primer that has a sealer included. You might even use a “block surface.” Once primed, apply a 100% acrylic paint. For more detailed information, click on the link below to read about other products that can be applied. Good luck!
