I have a set of monolithic concrete steps from the front walk to the sidewalk that have had some small cracks and pitting in them after oh 60-80 years.  I used a blend of abo-weld and abo-crete to repair the steps,  and now need to skim over the repairs.  So far I am considering

Etch, Prime and Garage floor epoxy paint with texture particles

or

a skim coat of concrete (almost like a paint) 

or,  is there another option? 

I am not thrilled with the painting idea,  because I can seem to find a color I like,  and the idea of the 3 step process doesnt thrill me either…
