How do I paint a decorative interior concrete floor?

Make sure you clean the concrete first. You can get an acid wash that etches the surface so that a primer/bonding agent will adhear properly. If you don't do this the paint will flake off. As far as the finish it just depends on what you want. Staining is a great alternitive to paint. Spraying gives a different look then rolling or brushing. Concrete paint needs to breathe so that any moisture that comes up through the concrete can escape.
