Painting Georgian columns

My house was built in about 1990 in the Georgian style. We've had the windows replaced with uPVC, but the columns supporting the porch over the front door are looking a bit shabby and need a coat of paint.

What sort of paint should I use? - I'm not sure what the columns are made from, but they're the standard ones that would have been used in the 1990's.

    You'll need to find out what the columns are made of.

    Chances are it's masonry. Masonry paint would be the logical choice, and I believe it can also cover most other materials.

    I think you might find them fibreglass/plastic material
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
