Try Quickcrete Quickwall and some concrete pigment. It'll give it a more realistic look.

Beat me to it. I remember some one doing that on here.

fiberglass resin ...

Good idea, but fiberglass resin and styrofoam are not compatible. Test to see if the sealer is sufficient to separate the two before going all out with it.

You could end up with a giant mound of goo.
