Prepare the surface: in any concrete resurfacing job, you need to first clean the surface. This can best be done with a high pressure washer. Also, any cracks should be ground up in order to remove loose edges.

Prepare the area: make sure that the area surrounding your workspace is covered. You do not want to end up spraying something that does not need it.

Lay the surface: in this step, a base coat is applied to the surface using special spray guns. This helps to ensure even texture and color during the resurfacing.

The last step in any concrete resurfacing job is to finish things off correctly. During this step you can “haze” the concrete if you want. Also, remember to wait 48 hours before walking on the concrete.
