We have concrete posts and wooden fence panels.

It would be nice to have the posts and panels the same colour.

Has anyone used fence paint on concrete posts with good results?

We have used Cuprinol Garden Shades on the panels.

I'm interested in the answer too

I'd imagine the result would be disastrous unless you spilt some onto a
concrete path where it might bond spectacularly well just to be awkward.

Usually concrete requires a masonry paint designed to bind onto an
alkaline surface. Try it and see on a piece of scrap material. It might
work but my instinct is that it will fail to make a decent bond.

Incidentally does anyone have recommendations for an outdoor furniture
wood preserver that doesn't require redoing every year? Has to be safe
for use on picnic benches and to be user friendly for sitting on too.

The items in question include various picnic benches at the Village Hall
out in all weathers and the recent winters seem able to strip these new
fangled eco friendly finishes off with ease
