Cheap and easy way to cover a concrete slab?

I’m building a shop building on an existing slab that has some big cracks and chips. Is there any easy way to pour a thin layer of concrete over the old floor. Other suggestions?

only way to pour over old concrete is to drill holes 2 ft on center and install 1/2″ rebar in the holes that stick up about 3 “. then when u repour over u should pour the new concrete 4″ . put a metal “key-way” in about every 10 ft. this will allow for expansion. also install expansion board around the walls at the height of the new finished floor. this will allow for expansion of the concrete.

another idea is to use hydraulic cement to fill the large cracks and holes. then use a concrete paint with sand texture to it. that way it will not be slippery. we use sand textured paint on all of our pours in shops for people.
