We dump a lot in that area. The floor is discoloured. Need an idea on the best type of paint to cover up the discoloured cement.

There are plenty of epoxy kits you can get at your favorite home store / lumberyard With that make sure you follow the directions & concentrate on the prep - just like items many items - 80 to 90% of the work is in the prep

I heard stain does a good job as it penatrates into the cement so no chipping. .

We used concrete paint. Peeled off from the heat of the car and tires. Not sure what to tell you except DONT use concrete paint.

..I have used porch and deck paint on concrete...but used a PRIMER first, no peeling..no flaking. Tintable and can be used indoors on concrete, etc.

..If you seal it, it holds up well. The epoxy coating you can get at Home Depot and such is great...but quite expensive. I worked for a gentleman whose living room floors and hallway were painted concrete, they had used the deck and porch paint and had it tinted a custom color, It was so cool. He said they sealed it , and cool thing...they had put random " designs' onto the floor as well...swirls, scrolls, quotes...very cool. :)
