I have a single skin garage wall, the inside has previously been painted with masonary paint and is showing a few signs of damp stains

I was going to give it a coat of gloss so it's easier to clean but my pal says gloss will hold the damp in and cause it to peel ? (Apparently the matt paint alllows the wall to breath)

To gloss or not to gloss ?

Not, it'll just fall off i reckon.

I'm trying not to imagine why you might need to have "easy to clean" garage walls...

Gloss an entire wall? Seems odd. Better to weather seal the outside I reckon, and make sure the guttering is up to scratch too. Fix the problem, not the symptoms.

Ok point taken, matt it is, I just thought gloss would look better and maybe hold out the damp as I'm turning it into a gym / zwift/ utility room

a zwift room - is that the modern day equivalent of having a cinema room ? :D:D
