Sometimes spending a lot of money doesn't guarantee a good product.


There is some kind of paint that is commonly used in restrooms in commercial
buildings where the walls are often block. I don't know what the stuff is
but it goes on like a plastic coating and completely seals the pores in the
block - smooth. It's usually gloss as well. Don't have any idea what the
stuff is, and I've never seen it anywhere, but if I were painting block, I'd
sure try my best to find out what it is and get that stuff. Maybe the
painters in the group know about the stuff and can chime in.
