Has anyone tried painting concrete? How did it go?

interior or exterior

Great! Cleaned really good then used primer and paint.

I've heard too many say that paint doesn't hold up on concrete, so I've never tried it, but they make a stain that I used on our covered concrete porch that has held up for about 13 years. At the time I painted mine they had two shades, light brown and dark brown, but there may be other colors now.

U have to paint with gloss paint or it well soak in the concrete

I have painted concrete. Depending on how exposed to the elements, it lasts a few years, but certainly needs to be tended to every now and then. That is why concrete stain has become so popular, and greatly improved over the years.

You should also wax it with Turtle Wax (car wax) once a year to help weather proof the paint

You can purchase a concrete primer. If you are painting statuary and you miss this step the paint will peel off in the first season.

they have a regular concrete paint and we are going to use it on our patio and it is uncovered and have used it before it works well.
