Columns are not painted, they are cast to look like stone--color is mixed in during the manufacturing process.

Locally in Miami, however, the company is no longer in business. There are several companies that do similar work--but you have to be very involved in the process to have them look like real stone. 90% of cast columns look awful...i.e. fake.
