Exterior floor paint for concrete?

Hello,
I've a small patio area, about 2 m square, that is a combination of tarmac and concrete. It is level with a brick patio area further down. Just for aesthetic reasons, I would like to paint it (I want to keep it flat, as laying something on top like decking is not an option as it would create another level with the brick patio).
Can anyone recommend an exterior floor paint that I can use? I can only find a few options like Ronseal step paint, but not too many options on colours (mostly red!).
Thanks!

    Have a look for Garage Floor paint. I know they do a Gray, ---there could be others.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    If you are going to use garage floor paint do make sure you give it the most thorough stir before use.


    I used a blue paint on my floor. Stirred it and applied about a third of the tin. Came back the next day and stirred again only to find that it was now ten shades lighter. Third day same again so I have a garage floor that is three very different shades. Doesn't worry me in a garage but might not be what you want on a patio.
