You should use a paint made for concrete (Like Rust-Oleum Epoxy Shield). Make sure the surface is as clean as you can get it, tape off anything that you don't want painted, and paint away. Use a brush for corners and edges. Use a roller for larger flat surfaces. Try (as hard as it might be) not to sit down on it for about 12 hours.





It is only worth it to paint if you don't like the color of the concrete. I would only paint concrete if it is discolored and you are trying to bring new life to an old piece.What's the process to paint a new concrete bench?

Consider a stain instead of paint.





If you do paint, I believe you need a sealer first.
