Flat wall paint on old stucco block?

[FlaMick]

1 and 1/2 stall garage is all I have but I can see the beach from it! Need to clean it up, starting with new paint over flat white on the walls. Am I better off with five gals. of cheap ($55) Olympic flat antique or two gals. of a better paint for the same price? Should I be staying with flat paint?

Since it's your garage, I'd at least go with a semi gloss. A flat paint will show every spot that you come in contact with.

prime it, then 2 gals of decent paint should cover it easily. Unless you want to store paint (which ***** up room). Yeah don't go flat..semigloss at min

They said it.
Semi gloss is the way to go.

semi gloss on the wall allow you to clean it, but also show every inch of the stucco. I would prime with oil based primer and a top quality latex egg shell interior or low lust exterior paint. two gals of each should do it
