Painting concrete garden posts??

We are just about to replace our garden fencing and we think that the concrete posts might look better painted the same colour as the fence panels.
Is this possibel and has anyone done it to theirs?

  • I always paint mine with the same paint as i use on the fence,it seems to do the job:confused:
    Personally i think they look better painted as they then blend in with the fence

  • You will getter a better effect if you use masonry paint on the concrete posts. It comes in quite a few colours, not sure if you will get the exact colour match though.
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
