I painted my own brand new step 2yrs ago with standard concrete paint...it still looks fine....an older step may need preparation first.

I prefer to use an epoxy primer, as it is very durable and creates a great grip on the surface of the concrete for painting.

Get rid of any flaking paint and give it a good clean including edges where dust etc collects, wait to dry. Paint with step paint available from Toolstation or the like. Two coats.
