Painting brickwork

I'd like to paint the inside of my garage walls which are bare brickwork. What's a good paint to use directly on brickwork?

Go for the smooth masonry as it's easier to apply and will go further.You can use interior emulsion as well but will not be so hard wearing0

One thing to watch is that some masonry paints have warnings about using them internally. I'm not sure why, I wondered if it was because some of them have chemicals to kill mould and algae? Anyone know?
When I was painting my garage a few years back I used Wickes exterior masonry paint which at the time didn't have any warnings so I assumed it was ok.0 -
some have a fungicide in them to help prevent mould growth ,i've been using them for 30 yrs without any harmful effects
don't use emulsion unless you want to g o for the flaky paint look0
