Painted concrete with metal grid sections

Can't Post | Private Reply

The house has huge expanses of concrete floor, diagonally gridded with some sort of medtal expansion type strip. Of course the paint on top of the strip has begun to chip away, taking some paint from the concrete portion with it and thus the areas get bigger just with daily living activity.
The paint on the floor is black, with a gold glitter barely noticable, and the floor is shiny.
Anyone worked with a floor like this before? What did you do to the floor before you painted it? Etched, acid, spot primed the bare spots?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
