Concrete stain is the best option. Acrylic paint formulated for pool decks or epoxy coating may be used, though they are less advisable. I have a detailed article about painting the outdoor horizontal concrete surfaces at my blog (see related links).

It does depend on what kind of paint and how deep it has set in the concrete, but it certainly sounds like a good start to work on.


What kind of paint should you use on a sidewalk?

If you are doing "sidewalk art" then chalk is your best bet. There are many truly amazing artists worldwide currently using it. If you are painting sidewalks and asphalt to mark parking spaces, handicap parking/access, crosswalks, safety zones etc. there are commercially available paints made specifically for this use. They are solvent based, designed to survive the elements/traffic etc. and can be purchased through a good paint retail store. Do be advised, there are a very limited number of colors available.

Can you burn wood with paint on it?

You should never burn wood with paint on it unless you know, specifically, what kind of paint it is, that the paint is question is safe to burn, and that there is no other chemical treatment on the wood. There is such a thing as paint that is safe to burn, but you should never assume a given paint is safe. In particular, you should avoid burning wood with lead based paint on it, and much of the old paint was lead based.

What kind of rock is a sidewalk?

Sidewalks are made of concrete, which is not a rock. Concrete is a man-made construction material composed of Portland cement, various crushed rocks, sand and water.


How much cement is needed to build a sidewalk that is 132 inches long 24 inches wideand 3 inches think?

Well, you make a sidewalk from concrete, not just cement. Concrete consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. You will need 5.5 cubic feet of concrete. A standard sidewalk grade of concrete would be 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 3 parts gravel- so the sidewalk needs 0.91 cu ft of cement- about 87 pounds worth- plus sand and gravel. If you want to buy the premixed bags of concrete (like Sacrete), you will need about 17 of the 40 pounds bags. And you did not ask, but 3 inches is kind of skinny- I would go for at least a 4 inch thick sidewalk.
