I have a 1900 house with a field stone foundation. The foundation is in good shape. There is minimal moisture. I want to paint the walls to make it look nicer. What kind of paint should I be using?
I will be spraying on.

Don't!
"Painting a stone wall to make it look nicer" is "good" for a few months, perhaps. Forever after, it's a mess.
Stone walls don't need paint, don't benefit from paint, and look like [bleep] when the paint peels. Removing the parts of the paint that don't peel is difficult, so they look like [bleep] ever after.
Don't go down this road. Your house will look much better, as it has for 117 years.
