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.

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 :(

It is unlikely to look quite the same because of the different substrate,
but could be a better match than trying to mix the colour in masonry paint.
Will report back.

10 years ago and that had all worn off.
The new garden shades is not the same as the old. The new has no wood
preservative ingredient and is more of a film forming paint thing
than the old which was more a soak into the wood stain. Hence the
comment above about it wearing out rather than flaking/peeling off.
The grain shows through the new Gardenshades a bit but that is
probably more down to the grain be raised by age and weathering.

opaque and film forming compared to the old Cuprinol Garden Shades
"Black Ash", that was more like a stain.
The new only contains terbutyn an algicide the old stuff had three
chlorophenol type compounds for fungal and algae control. I guess the
compounds used in the old worked and have now been banned...

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.

who knows. If you re-coat at some stage, the concrete pores may be now
blocked and it may try and form a skin like a paint would and that might
not stick well. Should be several years down the line by then and you
might even have moved house!

1.5mm one took 20 years to rust through), painted it with Aldidl metal paint
and the bright sivery finish was just too much.
Went over it with 2 coats of B&Q green fence paint and, apart from scraped
bits, it's still good after about 2 years.

Everything was sprayed, wooden fence, concrete posts and gravel boards,
the path beneath the fence, the grass and the white painted brickwork
where the fence joined the house. Some of the results can still be seen
:). The fence paint soon started to wash from the concrete leaving it
"splotchy". In truth the paint probably washed off the wood at the same
rate but the result is harder to see.

It's probably been repainted a couple of times since, or fallen down.
