Correct paint for concrete steps?

[Fred]

What is the correct paint to use for concrete steps? The steps are already painted and starting to peal. They are also very, very slippery when wet so I want to add some texture with an additive. It's not a perfect solution but I'm stuck with what I've got.

I'm going to strip off the pealing paint with a wire brush and repaint.

thanks for the help Fred [e-mail]

Personally I suggest sand blasting all the old pant off and leave it off.

I agree, sandblasting would be my first choice, also it would help stop the slippery when wet problem.

Use a noneslip additive in and on the paint, on the paint meaning sprinkled on. in the paint meaning mixed in.

Not a bad idea. Weathered concrete has character (when it doesn't have something really ugly, like oil stains.) zemedelec
