    Default refresh of concrete pathways in motel

    motel mid 70's pathways has seen many coats of paint over its life by the looks of it.
    what is the best method to refresh these pathways to make them slip resistant and last more than a few years between paint like has been done in the past here?
    anything that we can use other than paint that will last the test of time?
    not really looking forward to taking them back to concrete if we have to. but if we have to then we have to.
    the top level itself consists of around 135sqm of walk ways.

    painting it every few years is probably the best you can hope for. can add some of the "grit" that's sold for epoxy flooring/driveways.



    the only other suggestion I'd have is to get something like "spray crete". its basically coloured concrete that is blasted onto the surface. as the concrete is coloured you don't have to paint it ( think you are meant to seal it though) and by nature of how its applied its meant to be quite rough/grippy. I think it also only adds like 2 - 3mm to the surface.

    was looking at this spraycrete stuff once, but i have to pull up all the old paint which adds a crap load to the cost of it all.
