Then fill the cracks of concrete floor with an appropriate product as various products is available in the market. After filling the cracks the surface becomes a smooth surface. It depends on the floor whether there is a need to etch or not. Basically, etching opens up the concrete pores, which enables the floor to absorb the paint in a better way.
