Masonry paint. Check in your local hardware or home improvement store.
Masonary paint would be your best bet, check out your diy store.

Thank you. Will do.
You can purchase paint that is formulated for concrete but in your case, I think you would do better to stain them. Then you won't have to worry about peeling and chipping.
Make sure you clean thoroughly and they are completely dry before you start.
You can purchase paint or stain that is for concrete at most hardware and big box stores.
Hello from another Oregonian (southern oregon).
The downside to paint is that it creates a film on top of the concrete. It does not penetrate. For this reason, long exposure to heat, water, and other outdoor elements could make it separate from the concrete and crack, flake, and peel. And it rains a lot in Oregon (well maybe not where you live).
The only downside to stains is that it won’t completely hide repairs or blemishes on the concrete patio.
Hi Elise, hope this information helps you paint your concrete steps. Good luck with your project.
