Painting Inside Brick Garage

[planemad]

Hi All

I want to paint the inside of my garage which is brick as per the picture.
I have 30L of sandtex smooth masonry paint - what is the best type of roller for this, I have a 12" frame and scuttle - also what do I need to do with the first coat?
Water down or use a stabilizing solutions first.

Many Thanks

Water down first coat as sealer then two good coats,
I would use a 6" brush, and sheet the floor , I am an "old Fashioned" Painter , rollers are for amateurs

+1 for brush. It would be hopeless using a roller on brickwork, however straight it looks. There will be lots of depressions which a roller won't touch so you end up going back over it all with a brush anyway.
