My shop is in a corner of the basement - with cinder block walls. The heavy rains of spring forced me to empty out the shop. It wasn't bad ---- just noticiable.
I contracted with some waterproofers to build a drain tile system - they said that should help lots.
.
The waterproofers are finishing up next week (drain tile inside, and re-pitch surface exterior). I've scraped all the walls to get rid of the mineral deposits and bad paint.
Question is ------ what paint do I use to repaint the shop?
I want something that is tintable, so I can paint the walls a light grey.
One place says "Kilz" --- another says "drylock" ---- and another says "Valspar"
There was originally a coat of waterproofing on the wall. Most of it is still there --- but a few spots have bubbled out. I scraped them down.
I want something with a light color (keep the shop as bright as possible with the 1 basement window). I also want something durable (it's a shop) - and most important - something that
will keep the wall in decent condition.
