"<div>There are specific paints to use to decorate concrete floors available at craft stores.  They all require that the concrete be clean and dry before painting.  It helps that there is a roof over the spot, but these projects don't last more than a few years.  The concrete is porous and may take several coats of paint.  Did our front porch some years ago when the paints were first available; followed all the directions, but still only lasted three years and the third year was very faded.  This area, however, was not under roof.  Have fun; it was a cool project.</div>"
