Is Thorocoat acceptable for an exterior concrete porch

9 years ago

I am painting my exterior stucco with Thorocoat and was told that I cannot use it for the concrete porch in front of my house. This porch is up six flights of stairs and sees a fair amount of traffic. Other suggestions made was to use Drylock 1-part epoxy floor paint or Rustoleum Restore or Arbocoat. It is convenient for me to use the Thorocoat however and I am hoping to get some opinions from more experienced individuals. Thanks
