My house is part rendered and we had it repainted about ten years back with a good quality white masonry paint made by Sandtex. It’s lasted well but I had to repaint an edge section last year and the new bit is not too blatantly shining out so it’s not discoloured too badly. It wouldn’t be thick enough to disguise that a wall is block though.
Three inch rendering sounds excessively thick or is that a typo? Anyway you may be pleasantly surprised at the cost of rendering the new block. With no need for scaffolding it doesn’t sound a big job.
You could try planting something evergreen but not rampant. I’ve used Star Jasmine for long term cover that’s easy to keep trimmed. For a quick fix Cup and Saucer plant will cover a wall in one season but will die off with the first frost.
Whatever you do, if it’s a permanent change to the wall, you will need your neighbour’s agreement as it appears that they own it. I can’t see why they would object but people get very territorial when it comes to boundaries and their structures.
Finally, in my opinion, bamboo rolls look awful after a few months. I’d prefer unpainted block but each to his own.
