I just poured my first ever concrete.

6 cu yds, made a nice big slab for the garage/machineshop.

I don't think I did too good a job on the finishing - combination of
misjudging the time to do stuff, and not knowing how to do it anyway.

So I think I would like to paint the top of the slab.

What should I paint it with?

What surface prep should I do - in places I think some of it might come away
pretty easily.


Nothing like starting at the top for an exciting way
to learn how to do a task...and ESPECIALLY fun with concrete.
Now...the question I have is "what do you mean by not
too good a job on finishing?". It is just a matter of some
roughness here and there? Are there ridges? Are there
hills and hollows?
Add some details about how bad it is, and, it will
make it easier to give reasonable options.
Thanks
