    I would prime it, then spackle and maybe do a skim coat with the spackle. Then sand, prime again and paint. The reason I said to prime first is to seal the old concrete so it doesn't effect the spackle once it's dry. Raw concrete can either draw too much moisture out of the paint or hold moisture that will loosen the pain.
