Tile paint is correct but you must make sure it does'nt get walked on. It must be allowed to dry and then given another coat of paint and let it dry. phew!! I have had some experience with that on my back door step.

You can try an industrial enamel oil based paint , Nothing will really stay , or you can try a cement/rock stain that will penetrate the stone ,but you will have to totally remove the old paint , talk to someone at Sherwin Williams for more tips , or another paint store , NOT home depot or lowes , they arenot a paint store , plus their paint products suck , go somewhere that only deals in painting materials/solutions such as Sherwin Williams , PPG , Benjamin Moore etc.

Most obvious to you and anyone else who answers is WHAT the structure is that you're asking about. Obvious to me is the amount of abuse it endures.
BTW,,,There is NO effective TILE paint on this or any other planet.
Certainly now that it's been painted I'd suggest removal, but ooops. too late. I would have suggested an acid etch STAIN.
That said,,, here in the US there are paints formulated specific to garages and basement floors; often in an epoxy base.

acrylic paints are good. I went to Australia and theres a whole promenade of painted rocks where people have come and painted a personal rock. I done one too in acrylic paint! it seems long lasted but youll have to look at other factors too such as rainfall and wear-down. :D hope this helped you!

natural stone all ways looks best ..but if its not for you then buy a tin of concrete paint ..they use it for garage floors ..comes in a few colours and is hard wearing

Why paint it? Clean it up and smooth it, make it a feature of natural stone.

try proper masonary paint, although i would think that if the area is been rubbed by something whatever you use will eventually wear off,
