Just wondering what type of paint you would use on a GYM Wall,, it is painted concrete block, I find it's such a pain to paint with oneshot, it seems it wants to run, it builds up in the nookes and crannys,, I'm thinking a good latex paint would work.. any thoughts?
Hope all is well.

100 % acryl, stiff brush. Stir it and let it sit for a couple days before using, makes it less runny and covers better.

I might be leaning toward Nova paint since it is thick. I know the Diaz's used Nova on the murals they did and they love the paint. They will probably chime in to help you.
It also might depend on what type of paint is on the wall now. Is it a high gloss paint? Might need sanding. Here's a link to what Nova says about prep.
I've been using Nova and I like it. Their chart tells which colors are opaque or transparent.

Thanks!! Its a new school so Its certainly water based acrylic on there... now the problem is finding Nova... or I'll just use a good quality latex....All the best!

I'm pretty sure they only sell from their factory in Culver City, California.

Nova can only be purchased on-line from their home in California. I do a lot of school gym walls and Nova is the best I've found since Porter is no longer available. I use Sherwin Williams some, especially if the school or paint contractor specifies it, but it always takes two coasts.

The term "Latex" is often used for acrylic paint with PVC mixed in. Avoid that for any cost.
