How do I paint cement
How do I remove old outdoor carpeting from my cement steps? There is a lot of glue stuff left and I've tried scraping it off? What do you recommend? Once, that is done, I'd like to paint my cement steps with a colored paint and maybe some decorative artistry....how do I prep the steps? sand them down? Also, what type of paint/sealant do I use? I really want to do this project myself and need some good advice. Thank you so much!

If you need a solvent for the glue, I'm not sure what kind to use
A good basic prep and paint for concrete is to clean with an orange cleaner, and paint with Ben Moore's Porch and Patio paint
It works well over concrete with no primer/special prep
The latex is best, unless it's a garage floor
Ask at your local independent paint shop
If they don't carry the BM P&P, they should have something similar
