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?
