Not sure if this will help or not, but when redoing a fountain to look like antiqued bronze ( it was very black with a bronze color peaking through here and there. I painted a brown Latex(chicken **** brown) looks horrible, then went over it with a latex black and clear oil base concrete sealer mixed together, about half and half...Its messy to do but looks great. It will last a few years befor you have to do it again...the more sun exposure the quicker the finish will fail.

I've tried them all. Rustoleum 2X will cover plus endure even the heat of Florida. The colour pallet is limited, so you would need to use 2 or 3 colours then lightly  sand back to the darker colour (fox example a terra cotta) to achieve the Tuscan look. My experience is however nothing will stand up permanently to being under water. Have you considered turning your fountain into a succulent planter? then you could paint the fountain the way you desire, Tuscany, but not have to deal with paint exposed constantly to babbling water.

I have a resin fountain and used a spray paint that looks like stone that I found at Ace Hardware. Good luck Terry

I've used patio paint on resin and concrete fountains. I usually use two colors, woodland brown and charcoal black. Start with brown since the black is intense. You can always water down the paint to spread a different color dimension. I have to re-paint every 4-5 years due to the exposure in the Florida sun.

I'd use a high heat paint or honestly try chalkboard paint - any antiquing color to be applied underneath (buffing off CB paint in spots) - and the stone it series is an awesome choice too! so many possibilities

I realize this an old post but I picked up one of these at a shop in town. There was no pump. I’ve gotten one but where does it go? There doesn’t seem to be an opening to insert it anywhere .

I have this too and love it. I bought it used. Did anyone buy it new? I am just letting the natural patina remain.
