Is it possible to repaint (for example sand it down and repaint it black) this cabinet if I wanted to??

I don't see why not, but I think it would be very time consuming, but do-able.

I'm sure it could be done but would not be very easy to sand in cracks. May be easier to just paint over the wood. Check to make sure you get paint that would adhere to the current finish.

You could probably do it but parts are fragile and you stand a good chance doing damage. A good paint store may have a type of paint that would adhere to existing finish. I'd try that first

Yes, you could paint it. I thought of painting it myself if I didn't like the color. The louvered doors in the front are solid so the painting would be easy.

Yeah...I can see no reason why you can't paint it. Personally, I just love it the way it is! It shows the natural wood, and will need no repetitive painting. If you want a dark color, then staining is the best choice (but staining usually needs a bit of skill to get it right - without streaks, and pools of color.) Painting would be fine, but you will probably have to paint it regularly cos a rocker will take a fair bit of wear and tear . In my honest opinion, trying to stain it a lighter color is not a good idea - every time I have tried to stain any wood a lighter color, I have always been disappointed with the results. Bottom line - love it for what it is. Furniture, like human beings, like to be what they are....and are unhappy being made to look like something they are not!

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.

Yes, depending upon how shiny veneer is you may need to lightly hand sand some. Also, if your cabinets look really good now you may be disappointed. I used this product on a fixer-upper I sold and espresso did a great job on the cabinets, but they were in such rough shape they should have been replaced. You can tell it is paint, so if you are ok with that then it's fine. I wouldn't use it to change appearance of good-looking cabinets.

I believe you could painted. You may need to use a primer or sand lightly but you should be able to paint this vanity. Very good quality vanity.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be painted. The wood is smooth, but I don't think it would need to be sanded before painting it. I didn't paint the ones I bought, but that was by choice. Hope that helps.

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

Sure you can paint it. It is mostly pressboard but it is all wood of some sort. I would recommend roughing it up with a really light sandpaper or wiping it down with TSP to give it some tooth for the paint to adhere to but then you should have no problem. Good luck!

It is high gloss so you would have to sand it in order to paint it. If you have the time and want a specific look you cannot find else where than it may be worth the work.

I don't think so. It has a veneer finish which I don't think you can sand in order for the paint to adhere. I'm not a big DIY person so maybe someone else has a better opinion.

I wouldn't hesitate to paint it. If in doubt, scuff a bit with sandpaper first.

It's painted or antiqued, but not finished with a clearcoat of any kind. You would very probably be able to stain it easily, I doubt you'd even have to sand it first.

I think you could! Depending on the kind of paint, you might need to sand the exterior walls a little. I "wallpapered" the inside using scrapbook paper and Mod Podge, but those walls aren't painted.

You would deffenantly have to sand it down first. The original paint would just bubble up underneath. If you read my review, the paint is the least of your worries.

I think no matter what product you use to clean the cabinets, you need to sand and prime.....sorry, I know that takes more time:(. Chalk paint may be worth considering.

My stand has a very smooth black finish - not mahogany. It could probably be painted if it was prepped correctly.
