I did not look for that thread nor do I remember if there was a suggested type of paint or mixture ratio, but perhaps someone that reads this thread may know.

Anyway while I do have doubts about this surface I wish best of luck to you in finding something that works.
Yea, we used to use a 4 to 1 paint to a silica sand gave real good traction on wet concrete this was 20 years ago when we did this in water treatment.i think that diluted down airport paint would work.
