I am redoing a gym floor that is concrete about 34 feet by 34 feet. It was
painted by someone ele and I don't know what kind of paint they put on it
but, it has been on there two years and is being scuffed off.

What should be done prior to repainting and what kind of paint should I
use??

2 part epoxy is best. Instructions are on the label.

No matter WHAT you do it will continue o fail.

Have you considered stripping it all off?

If it is flaking or chipping off, then I would agree. However if it is
scuffing off (wear) then a good quality finish over the top following the
instructions on the new material (which may say the prior paint must be
removed) should be fine.

Bonding primer made for concrete will ensure a maximum strength bond.
But if that step was skipped on the old paint, it will continue to
flake up even if you put two part epoxy paint on top of it.

You should use a cement grinder/floor planer, followed by
an acid wash, and then use poured epoxy flooring.
