Basement paint for 60s house

Hello dear forum,

a 1960s basement is to receive a well-deserved new coat of paint on the walls and floor.

The existing paint is the original first coating, consisting of dispersion paint for the walls and ceiling, as well as ordinary floor paint, largely worn off in the walkways.

With a significantly elevated groundwater level, seepage water through the basement floor is to be expected; the last such event occurred about 25 years ago. Basically, the basement is dry and mold-free, except for small moisture damages (peeling paint, soft plaster surface) in the former drying cellar.

The commissioned painter recommends treating the moisture damage with primer, then applying two coats of dispersion paint (the most expensive Alpina) to the entire basement. The basement floor is to be coated with synthetic resin paint (epoxy resin paint).

Is the planned procedure optimal?

P.S.: Silicate paint does not seem possible due to the existing, well-adhering dispersion paint.

(now only system satisfaction follows)

No idea, probably the good painter doesn't use paint from Alpina, mine, a small business owner, said it's more than enough. For the basement, the manufacturer is less important to me.

I myself prefer a paint that has already been used in the apartment, especially since further work needs to be done there: Brillux ELF 1000.

With my question, it's less about the manufacturer of the dispersion paint and more about the use of dispersion paint in the basement and epoxy resin paint for the basement floor of a 1960s house with occasional waterproofing breaches.

Is this okay, or is there a better alternative?

Especially regarding the epoxy paint for the basement floor, I am uncertain. It would be nice if someone from the all-knowing forum could encourage me or also gladly advise against it...

A heartfelt thank you in advance.

I personally prefer a color that has already been used in the apartment, especially since further work needs to be done there: Brillux ELF 1000.

Why? I don't understand that

Epoxy resin paint

It's actually two-component and sealing, isn't it?

Why? I don't understand that

Brillux has already been used in the apartment, not cheap, but with good results. Actually, I don't care about the paint or the manufacturer to be used, especially in the basement; it just has to serve its purpose: good coverage and suitable for the 60s basement. I am open to recommendations.

It's basically two-component and sealing, right?

As far as I understand, yes. According to the painter, who claims to specialize in building protection, he recommends a coating with epoxy resin paint for the basement floor because it is vapor-permeable but not water-permeable. My concern regarding the rather unusual epoxy resin paint for me is whether possible "side effects" fit with the old basement, which occasionally experiences groundwater intrusion.
