Default Painting concrete porch

Sigh! Again tackling this nasty job. I posted long ago about the
problem repainting concrete porch because Calif. forbids use of the
oil-based BM which I used for decades. When they did that, I had to
buy a can of something that would let the new paint cling to the old.
So extra job, applying TWO coats instead of just one. Grrrr!

TRecently I posted a q. about how to fill in the leprosy patches left
where some paint had flaked. Stucco patch that I used to use (I
think) didn't work too great.

One experienced-sounding NG member advised not to fill in the patches,
but to feather them. I broke out my sander, put on a coarse grit but
had limited success.

The damn paint is shot to ****. I spent too much time scraping
endlessly with a flat-blade utility knife in many areas not amenable
to feathering.

Now finally to the q: Is it possible to just cover the (&^$(_+&&^%$
$##* porch with a new coat of quick-setting (or other advisable?)
concrete in order to stop ****ing around with all this scraping and
patching, and just start from scratch?

TIA
