    I want to paint it so it's easier to pressure was in the winter, it builds up green growth in the winter and gets slippy.

    I have seen floor paint but is there a pressure washer strength exterior paint?

    Hi
    Did you go ahead with this?
    I wish to do similar and I’m looking for product recommendations.

    Get exteriour epoxy paint, nothing will remove it. Concrete need to be dry though.

    For slip resistance you can add kiln dried sand.

    Don't paint outside ground it's a mad idea. Green mould takes months to grow and is easily removed with washing up powder.

    Painting you will have to do over and over and it will also grow mould and be slippy when wet. It requires more maintenance than concrete on its own.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Do you scatter the sand on the wet paint?

    I was actually also considering a grit solution? Has anyone experience of doing something like this? Perhaps applying some form of sand or grit to an epoxy resin?

    The goal here is to cover up some concrete in the back garden, purely for aesthetic reasons.
