used to hate that snowcem paint!!!. Have'nt used it for years, Personally I would go for something like sandtex masonry paint, ready mixed and alledgedly micropourus. Once you get cement based (snowcem) paint on you will need to keep to cement based. The basic Idea with these paints is any grime which lays on surface will get washed away when it rains, this will drain over any bricks and if they are porus will soil to a dirty white in time.
You say the dash came off, Paint wont last much longer if wall is damp.
