Is there a way to resurface concrete pillars to make them smoother before painting them for a fresh look?

I’m thinking about sprucing up the concrete pillars on the front of my house. Would it be possible to make them smoother after cleaning them up, before painting them? Thanks in advance for your help!
You can stucco them again. It would look great with a sanded finish. Clean by using a power washer. Apply a coat of bonding agent and stucco on.
I need to cancel my reservation for tomorrow, can you help me with that?

So, , do you sand it smooth after applying this?
Carissa Johnsen – Hey there! Luty is actually a bonding agent used for concrete or stucco. It’s essential for adhering new material to old surfaces.
For all the exterior concrete, make sure to seal it with a crystallizing concrete sealer. Start by wire brushing everything. Use a ‘Thinset’ type concrete to make it smooth. Wet the trowel in the later stages of smoothing for a polished finish. Seal it. Prime it. Paint it.
Hey , are you talking about a motorized wire brush? Sorry, I’m a total beginner when it comes to DIY… I’ve never used a wire brush before!
You can do it by hand.
Ive it a pressure wash and paint it with Loxon self-cleaning paint.
Hey , isn’t Loxon more of a sealant paint specifically for concrete? Will it not affect the texture at all?
Adding more coats can help even it out. You can also use a 5 in 1 tool to scrape it a bit and smooth it out.
Go ahead and paint after that.
Hey, when you contact Sherwin Williams for Loxon, make sure to mention it’s for the B&E Painting Services job under your last name.
Lol should we refresh or resurface?
I feel the same way about all of the above lol. I never really liked this feature on the house, but since we can’t remove it, let’s just try to improve its appearance a bit.
