is this a "mottled" finish or a continous color like normal paint, like on a wall?

It is like paint on a wall. Good coverage with a very slight gloss. Excellent camouflage olive drab color.

It discolors over paint if you do the number of coats recommended. This orangish discoloration showed up on sky blue and light blue. Pale yellow no problem. Would not try white.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.

Hi, the actual color looks just like the picture..it is a burnt orange color and it has a nice lighter gray and baby blue...It would go wonderful with the walls for sure! the walls will bring out the colors in the spread very well...:)

It is not a shiny white laminate finish. It is white painted. It is great piece though

Yes. Very easy to paint as is real wood, not plastic shlock. Put a couple coats of white paint on mine to match wall and door. Could have left it unpainted as looks very nice the way that it arrives. Kind of a light maple color.

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!

I bought the darker colour and yes it appears to be finished, but it is definately not the best finish. It's broken up into pieces, nothing solid. I think it's meant more to be in a corner.

The finish is clean. Not shiny, but clean. I am using mine unpainted. I am pleased with it. My truck is not a show truck though... it is a work truck.

There is a light finish on I, but I am pretty sure that is you do just a little sanding, a new paint color would stick.

I wouldn't say it's shinny. To use wall paint as a comparison, I would say its sheen is like egg shell.

When put on wood, the PC Petrifier "wets" it so it looks darker. When dry it lightens up. Might have a little residual white to it, but its nothing at all like white paint.

it's textured on the inside. The texture would most likely show through if colored probably not if painting.

The product description says it is "cast from durable polyresin." It is a "plastic" compound but you won't have any problem painting it.

It's four separate pieces of the same painting. They are continuous. It looks beautiful on my wall! And it is not metal (like I thought) but black and white paint that makes it look reflective.

"original" color is white/soft white. Easy to paint, but the white will actually get you by for awhile.

It's very slightly red stained, almost natural. The real look is like that of the last photo, with the pieces dismantled. It really doesn't seem it's going to endure the weather for long, si I opted to paint it with a transparent marine wood sealer, and then it looks as the one in the first photo with flowers.
