concrete door step

Morning all.
I have an open porchway with red tiles and basically, what is, a painted white concrete thresh-hold step. I would like to repaint this step white.
The only door step paint I can find is either red or black.
Would an exterior floor paint be man enough for the heavy traffic it would get? Also, I wouldn't want a glossy type finish - too slippery.
Can anyone recommend a suitable product? I've noted Ronseal do a white floor paint (not sure if it's exterior) that costs about £32 a tin, I only need enough for about 1sq mtr.
Many thanks for any help.

Standard masonary paint should be good enough...C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0

If it does seem slippery when it's done, put on another coat of paint and scatter a little bit of sand over the doorstep. It will be fixed in place by the paint and will be good and grippy.0

Masonry paint is for walls not floors, you want floor paint so it isn't slippery.0
