Valspar Exterior Oil Based House and Trim Primer 4 5 2 2
acceptable actually used this paint on previously painted knee high planting beds. Previously painted with latex. Sanded the bricks, then primed. To date looks good. The high heat of Az will tell whether or not this paint will standup. Thanks April 22, 2013
