I want to spruce up our basement a bit by painting the basement walls which are poured concrete and would like to find out what the best paint would be. I am not interested in a waterproofing type of paint as I have read that this will not allow the walls to "breathe" and we really do not have a need to waterproof. Would an exterior masonry paint be the way to go? Thanks.
imo, there's no paint that's adhere to conc permanently,,, you'll need a breathable wall coating instead,,, any water vapor transmitting thru the wall'll ' lift ' paint but a coating'll allow it to transfer.
in theory, there's no difference 'tween theory & practice,,, in practice, there is !
