The concrete floor was laid too wet and when it was " tamped" the water brought the sand to the surface. The sandy finish needs to be stabelised as any paint will only stick to the sandy surface and can keep lifting.
Sweep the floor area, or half if that's all you can clear. Mix Unibond, in the red can (exterior,and frostproof) at a 1/3rd unibond to 2/3rds water mix it well in a bucket and brush well onto the floor with a soft sweeping broom.
This will soak into the concrete like a primer, and seal the floor. you may need a second coat
I would use it like this for a few weeks and see if you need to paint it.
Don't put the unibond on too thick a mix, it must soak in Regards Rodders

Ever concrete floor I've encountered has been dusty! I recently did mine with this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/leyland-h...tracking url&gclid=CNWfveq0sroCFRIPtAoden0A2A It went down very easily and dried quickly , I found that with the one can I was able to do 2 good coats on my single garage floor with a little left if you need to touch anywhere up.
