Paper Roses

(7,524 posts) Fri Sep 25, 2020, 12:52 PM Sep 2020

Any ideas? I just had 2 boards replaced on my outside stairs. The new boards are pressure treated. [View all]

The older boards(also pressure treated) have aged and are slightly grey. It sure looks strange with 2 new boards against the older ones. Any ideas how I can color the new boards so they don't look like new against the older ones?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
PR
