Will stains bleed through concrete paint? Is there
any sort of primer for paining a concrete front
porch?

Has it been painted before? I ask because my concrete front porch had
been painted every year with an OIL-BASED paint, no longer available
in California.

Now, in order to prep the surface for the new permitted paint, I have
to prime it. It's BM, and I had the primer colored to match the
new paint. PITA, but short of transporting paint across state lines
<g> what to do?

If never painted before, I'd ask at a good paint store NOT a box
store. I betcha they will say yes, prime it. Primer + finish coat
will probably hide stains, esp. if you are using a dark color.
Get the very best you can afford, esp if you are in a severe weather
area where paint takes a beating.

Good luck!
