Yup, happens to everybody. Don't worry about it until they eventually start wearing down (this will take a long time even with constant use). |

Don't grind on unfinished (rough) concrete - always try to grind on non-rusted metal, or finished (smooth) concrete.

Could you grind on painted concrete? Like where sidewalks are painted red? |

Usually painted concrete is okay, but it depends on the paint. If you're pulling up the paint (a lot), then definitely no (since you're also causing damage).
And it depends on what's under the paint. Concrete that has a very smooth edge (like most painted parking blocks) are great to grind. But usually street curbs are too rough and you'll just mess up your gindplates.
Also - try some skateboard wax. A little goes a long way.

def - and you're better off grinding something faster anyways .. if you only grind curbs, you'll find rails really fast.
