you're going to need to prime and then paint to avoid bleed through

Laura Cooper · Answer

You may want to consider staining rather than painting. Stain has MUCH less ongoing maintenance requirements whereas paint will need to be redone every year or two.

Clean first with TSP then you will be ready to prime and paint. Make sure your paint is good for masonry.
