In general, if the paint can be applied to non-DRY-BLOCK masonry, then it can be applied to DRY-BLOCK masonry. Paints that have been successfully used with DRY-BLOCK include latex, acrylic latex, waterborne epoxies and cementitious based coatings. Oil based paints (alkyl paint) are not recommended for most masonry construction, especially in exterior applications. For additional information please see Technical Bulletin 14 “Compatibility of Post Applied Coatings and DRY-BLOCK.
