Nay, yuck! Only people I know who do this are old.

You might want to stop by sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore and see what products they have. Home depot and lowes generally sell low end products. Combine crap products with crap prep, and you have a disaster on your hands in a couple of years.

Not to mention-in some cases stone just doesn't look good. For example, we have a yellow brick house and a set of red brick steps and a set of concrete steps. Covering the concrete with stone would clash too much with the yellow and the red bricks.
