Answer 2

i don't know exactly what the suff was called, but my dad did buy it from home depot or menards, but all you did was mix two paints that it came with. then you rolled the paint with a normal roller, and you put sprinkles on it, it looked beautiful after your done.

Answer 3

First you need to prep it. Make sure it is clean, no grease spots etc. The  surface should be acid etched, which helps to give the concrete a profile so the paint has something to grip to. Make sure the new concrete has cured @ least 30 days. Depending on how long you want it to last and how much you want to spend, you can go from a 1 part floor enamel , to a high end epoxy. Both can  ussually be rolled with a paint roller. Best is to go to an actual paint store like Sherwin Williams, they have many products and can help decide which is best for you.

Answer 4

Use a roller and a paint made for concrete.
