Hello! I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on painting concrete steps. The steps are outside and are the front steps to the house. They currently do not have any paint on them and are not cracking.

I am wondering if I need a primer, specific paint and do I need a sealer? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Also do you have to worry about slipping on the stairs once they are painted?? Someone also told me I might have a problem with once I paint them then I will have to paint them over and over again because of the weather. I live in Ohio.

Thanks!
