How to update old concrete walkway
We have an old home and the walkway to the door is old concrete that looks terrible. How can you update it without having to re-pour?
I would first get a power washer and get it cleaned off with maybe some sanding in spots. The stores have paint for concrete, pick a color and redo it. Maybe you painted while it was to damp and had not fully dried. Or maybe a oily spot. You could always stencil over it also.

I have the exact same issue. Any additional ideas would be helpful.
Concrete is porous and it expands with the element of the seasons. There may be paints but many do not guarantee against this happening. Painted concrete looks nice but you may want to color dye it instead.
Look on the internet I am not a person to consult but there are applications out there. You may want to go professional so that you get their experience behind the product.
I'm not sure what to tell you about the peeling paint other than it should be removed before repainting. If you decide to repaint consider a "softer" paint. Look for a 2 part, polymer-acrylic with an epoxy base. Reputable Tub refinishers use this type of paint on fiberglass tubs. *Yes, it would have to be sprayed on. However, It allows for the expansion and contraction of the tub. I would assume it would do the same with concrete.
The paint on my mom's patio is doing the same thing. We researched the problem and what we learned is that the paint needs to be removed. Either with a high powered (professional) sprayer or sandblasted. Unfortunately she hasn't been able to find a contractor yet willing to do such a small job.
Sounds like the concrete may never have been sealed and you may need to start over with acid etching. Follow this link to see: http://m.wikihow.com/Acid-Etch-Concrete
does that mean I have to remove all the paint? We did do the prep that came with the kit.
Hi Connie, I would suggest power washing the concrete first with an etching concrete cleaner to get rid of the old paint. Rinse well and once it dries, use a roller extension and paint with a concrete floor paint.
