diamond grinding's the best solution & its 98% dust-free w/the right equipment,,, finishes are measured in 'grit' - eg, #30 is fairly coarse & approximates a broom finish; #60 is about 1/2 as coarse as #30,,, when you get up into the 100's, you're approaching home depot/lowe's floor finish ( #400/#600 ) while above is considered polished concrete,,, for your size job,110v 15" machines are suitable.
imo, i don't think any locals have either equipment or knowledge
'paint' is never a suitable coating for concrete as its resistance to abrasion is minimal,,, IF you're thinking 'epoxy', stay away from water-based mtls as their performance isn't acceptable to most pro's
from what i see in the villages, most installers are using sher-wms mtls for d/w's, etc
'kool-deck' was a mortensen creation but has pretty much become generic similar to kleenex/scotch tape,,, they are all polymer-modified cements incl fine aggregates for abrasion resistance
