It has a few pics, to give a little more of an idea of the process. It also has a link to another site that also painted their concrete floors. So far mine has been holding up just fine. But then again, I'm careful with the floor and I've never like scooted furniture across it or anything like that. But if I were you, I'd check into seeing if you can stain what you have. If you can't, then I could see maybe painting your bathroom floor and then sealing it. However, I would be hesitant myself to do a kitchen floor because it sees a lot more foot traffic, plus tables and chairs get scooted around.

But for starters, you'll want to look at pictures of stained concrete to get an idea of the colors you want to paint with.
