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.





I set in concrete H posts & gravel boards ... and made my own fence panels.
I mixed up some 'test pots' of Sandtex smooth until I got a good match
to fence colour .... and painted posts with that ...
47 of them .... but that was well over 10 years ago and still looking
fine ... fence needs a re-coat this year.
