Exterior paint is subject to so many harsh conditions, including pollution, weather and the expansion and contraction of the building, that it should be the best the homeowner can afford. Epoxy paint has great holding power, but it's too expensive to paint the entire exterior of a house. A cement based paint will do the job, but it comes in powder form and has to be mixed with water. It can only be used on unpainted masonry, which has to be hosed down before the paint is applied. Latex paints are very good in tolerating the alkali that comes from brick or masonry, and it's less expensive than epoxy. The best way to apply paint to an exterior is with a good, sturdy set of paintbrushes. Rollers and spray guns simply won't do the job as well.

Mixing latex paint with an epoxy water-based sealer is generally not recommended, as the two have different chemical compositions and may not blend well.
