Could it be concrete?

Angie Hines Paul · Answer

Concrete paint at your local Home Depot, Lowes etc.... They will tint it for you

Aqua would look nice

Kaye · Answer

@Dianne 
Looks much like concrete , just like bird baths. I would use a sealing paint like for bird baths. Just ask them at the store for a sealer paint for outside and they can then tint it what color you like. If you don't seal it it will probably crack and crumble over time.

Linda Tasa · Answer

The traditional colors for a pagoda would be red or gold.........

Christy Oxendine Anthony · Answer

You could use concrete paint/stain, porch and floor paint or if you are really industrious, and want to go over the top, you could use garage floor epoxy.

I have the same Pagoda for the last 28 years and it's made of concrete...you can use concrete paint or stain ...patio paint.....mine has gone through a range of color in 28 years ....they look great with a light inside, but that requires a little more work or a solar light that fits.

Rustoleum Hammered Copper would look awesome on your pagoda and would hold up to the elements.

Sorry Kim Kilmer, I replied before reading all the comments so didn't see you made this suggestion already.

Ruth · Answer

I have this same one in my garden, never thought to paint it.

Lori · Answer

I have the same one and it is concrete and I sprayed it with gold paint and it looks and holds up really well.  In the spring when I put it back out I will just give it a shot of fresh paint and good till next spring.

Shirley · Answer

It is probably made of concrete and I also suggest you go to hardware store and purchase a masonry (concrete) paint and they will tint for you at store. Good luck!

Charles Prock · Answer

A deep Chinese red would really be in keeping with the object and give you a splash of color that you want....If you can find elastomeric paint in a small quantity that's what I would use...It's normally used on stucco because it is not brittle but moves with the changing temperature fluctuations.

Antcp3 · Answer

Paint it black. Look for spray on paint that includes applications to cement surfaces .

Shirley Hetherington · Answer

Chalk paint works really well .....sticks like glue! If you want colour, do it in black with a reddish roof....and even a touch of gold.
