We rented a power washer and spent all day washing the garage and removing the peeling/flaking paint from who knows how long ago. It is now almost all bare concrete blocks. Here are my questions...What is the best kind of paint to use and do I need to seal/prime it first? Is there a combination sealer/paint available? Does concrete need "stain" instead of paint? I plan to use Porter supplies since I was told there were good but did not know if they would try to sell me expensive stuff I do not need. White is the color I am using. Thanks for your assistance. kjh
