Hello,

Well First I want to tell you that putting a mural on cinder block can have many dificulties;

1.The Porous surface can make it real difficult to make straight lines or keep the conture of the picture.

2. The ribs of the cider block wall can be difficult to get an even coat.

3. If not insulated properly could have difficulties getting the paint to stick properly.

With that said if you still want to do it then make sure you prime and use latex paint wall paint.

Thank you
