Painting concrete is considerably different than a wood or metal surface.  Concrete is porous and needs to be sealed before painting.  Then once the surface is painted (it should be a concrete paint, enamel) it should be sealed again.  I really think that painting your steps will result in almost immediate wearing away.  Wish I could tell you to use it but I really think a concrete paint, or dying would be the way to go.

Good luck.
