How do I make my front porch urns look more vintage and “concrete”

These the basic “Verdi green” urns that we’re popular 20 years ago. I read somewhere to paint and do some sort of acid wash to create a newer look. I want them to be a concrete, neutral color with INTEREST!

Check out the Krylon natural stone spray paint. That would probably work and you could put a good sealer on it.Helpful Reply -

I assume the urns are made of concrete. This link has an acid wash kit and multiple colors so it may help.Helpful Reply -

also, a rust finish would look great. Modern Masters has a kit. fairly easy to use, finish with a flat varnish and they would look awesome!Helpful Reply -
