My shop has many coats of 2 part epoxy.
I needed to cut some wood on the table saw and didn't have a dust
collector yet, so I laid down several sheets of polyethylene. That
worked great, except... there was some very fine dust that made its way
past the sheets. I took one steep onto the painted floor. The only time
I ever went down that fast and hard, was forgetting to take the guards
off my ice skated. That hurt! At least I didn't break anything.
At the W end of the shop, the S side has an 8' garage door. I simply
rented a very heavy, orbital sander and used a coarse sand paper to do a
strip 8' wide from that door across the end of the shop. It worked as
well inside and left a better finish than using sand or an anti slip
compound.
The aprons for the garage and shop are painted with epoxy "with a lot of
sand mixed in!

You want to paint tower bases go to it. However, I beg you not to
paint concrete steps & walks. Unless you use the 'sand' paint or other
textured gripper paint. You can't imagine how slippery painted
concrete is when wet. As a retired postal carrier I know. Two of my
fellow carriers got their arms broken on painted concrete. If you
insist on painting steps & walks please add the wide stick- on grip
pads. The law suit you save might be yours. I lost a full uniform [
big $$$] because a teenager drained a car radiator down a sloping
concrete driveway. The homeowner bought me a new uniform & was
thrilled I didn't break any bones. Been there done that.
