Interior brick paint

Hi

I'm looking to paint my interior walls of my garage which is made of brick. Any ideas where I can get internal masonry paint. B&q only seem to do exterior brick

    I just used external masonary paint inside my integral garage. Took 2 coats. Also used it on a outside garage internally too as we have 2 garages

    If it's only the inside of a garage even a cheap emulsion would clean it up.

    Going to go some masonry paint. Can I use that for the concrete floor as well?

    Masonry paint really isn't suitable for painting floors - it would wear really quickly. I would recommend buying some proper floor paint - you can frequently get the "proper" commercial stuff very cheaply on ebay/gumtree/car boot - presumably stuff that people have pinched from work.

    I painted the inside of my garage with ordinary white emulsion in1992 when I built it. It has never been painted since.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
