Painting an exterior cement block wall

TSP is a very good cleaner and doesn't leave a soap
residue. I've used it for 30 years. not just for oil paint.
It's great for getting off grime on woodwork.

Enamel indicates a paint that dries with a
film, as opposed to a suspension.

I was using the word enamel to distinguish from a
water-base stain, which is not an enamel.
