Janis Hill on Dec 18, 2014You have options! You can clean and stain it, you can do an acid stain or you can paint it. I would go with acid stain. Instead of providing links to each individual video here is a link that shows the various options. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=clean+and+stain+concrete&qpvt=clean+and+stain+concrete#aHelpful Reply

Karen Hustus on Dec 19, 2014We just redid our porch. First I filled in all the cracks with concrete filler. Then I used a waterproof concrete floor primer and then used deck and porch paint to paint the entire surface. After the initial sealing and painting is done, you can tape or stencil any design you would like over the top.Helpful Reply

Debra on Dec 19, 2014I had a similar porch. You need 4 items! I bought 2 different color porch paint, wood grain tool, and I used 4 inch board that was laying around. Painted with one color after dried went back through and wood grained. Then used board and permanent marker to make look like boards. It turned out great!!!!Helpful Reply

CK on Dec 19, 2014As one professional painter told me "Cement and paint are best friend". You can easily prime and paint it with porch and floor paint.Once you have your base coat down, you can put on stencils or any other designs.Helpful Reply
