Depends on if you intend to recover with something again and just want to
seal the concrete or want the painted floor to show. If the latter you could
do a concrete stain a seal or use an epoxy paint. Either will give good
wear. Another is to acid stain and seal, This can give a textured look like
stone if done well.

I've ripped up all the carpet, padding and tack strips in a room
that has a concrete floor. Now I want to paint the floor somehow.

Should I paint and then seal the concrete? Or should I seal the
concrete before I paint?

Is there some sort of primer that will keep any stains from coming
through? Or is that what the sealer's for?

Do I use floor paint, or should I use concrete paint?

Is there anything else I need to consider?

(Holes will be patched with an appropriate product before any
painting is done.)

Thanks in advance,

Is this floor above or below grade? Is there any existing or past
moisture problem?
