Preparing and painting new concrete

I've got a brand new concrete lintel and concrete struts holding up my back patio roof. I want to paint them dark brown gloss to look like wood.
Could some kind person advise me how to prepare new concrete and also what primer? Could I use dilute PVA followed by a primer before using gloss?
Thanks
