If you are going to re render it you could also put a water proofing
agent
in the water when you mix the render. The sort of thing that you would
use
to render a wall after a new damp course has been injected



Good point, probably still won't hurt to paint it as well though

Just to follow up, I was reading the application notes on Dulux masonry
paint and it claims that painting parapet walls is "inadvisable".
Something about not being able to keep moisture out of the wall and
possible frost damage/spalling.

Won't be painting it then
