    Hello, This is what I did with mine and it still looks nice.

    Coat all areas of bare concrete with a suitable primer, such as Behr Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer. That needs to cure at least eight hours. Then you can paint with a product designed for exterior concrete, such as Behr Premium Plus Porch &Patio Floor Paint.

    Lynn Hello,. I'd have it power washed first, let it dry completely. Home Depot or Lowe's, can help you pick the right kind of paint, for protection from the weather. The paint might crack or peel, if your porch is on the north side, it gets no sun hardly. Make sure you paint two coats, and allow the first coat to dry completely. Aloha!
