Can I paint over the letter, or is there a finish on it?

The letters are finished but they can be painted over... I didn't paint them, but it can be done.

There is a glossy finish (clear coat) but you could easily paint it. Use a basic primer first. A stain probably would not work.

It's painted in a white gloss - but we used blue spray paint on ours and they came out great

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.

It's not much of a gloss but there is a little. I had to really inspect it to see if there was that is how little is on there. I kept mine white that's why I didn't know if there was or not until now.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

For me, it was enough to add it to the paint! No finishing coat necessary. But that doesn't mean you can't. It was delightful according to my taste!

Very carefully! 1st take the back off ( I cut out the "You are" portion 1st to test it) 2nd place the clear plastic with the lettering on the surface you want it to stick to. Rub it very hard tracing the letters 1 by 1 (I used my thumb) starting from the corner start to remove the plastic very carefully, if you can see the letter is still on the plastic and not transferring pull it back over the spot and rub some more. I found if helps to start from various positions along the message. It took myself and my friend about 15 minutes to get it on. It helps to be in a good mood and have patience or the whole project could go belly up. It really looks nice hope this helps.

I don't think so. I think the finish is too smooth. I used a label for my printing.

Hello, I'm sure once sanded down you can paint the item, but it'll void the return policy and damage the reflective chrome finish. Thank you, Edgar Manhattan Lane Support Team

You should be able to use it over paint provided the painted surface is smooth without chips or cracks. If it is not smooth, the stain will look different on places where it touched wood vs. places where it touched paint. Depending on the color of the paint it might impact the color of the stain too. It won't show up very well on black paint, for example. Honestly, i would just use paint over paint but you can always do a small patch of the door to test.

It has a special coating. Normal paint wouldn't do the job. If you try then practice on the inside maybe first.

I would say that I do not know. Might be easier to select another finish than to paint. The manufacturer or distributor might be able to answer this question.

You can write on it with pencil but it should only be applied over a thoroughly dry paint. Preferably water based. Charcoal works better. Or a soft pencil. You may need a few coats to keep pencil from breaking through surface and hitting the paint.

I did 10 letter-sized clipboards with 3 coats each and barely used any of the paint. But I don't think one can will cover the area you want to cover....you need at least 2 coats.

Thank you for mentioning this problem. I will use a clear-coat nail polish over my white lettering. Hope that will make it last longer.

Hello, Unfortunately we don't paint the items, if an item is paint to match item is primed but customer needs to paint the item on their end.Thank you

No you cannot; until you bake it the paint is still wet and pliable. Bake, let it cool, then prime the surface with chalk by rubbing it all over. Then you can write!

Depends what the lettering is made out of. My guess would be no, unless you tried to peel the paint off the lettering later on. Or the paint might not adhere to the lettering and just peel right off after a little while.

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

By finished you mean like varnished? No, it's not. So you can paint it with whatever color you want without needing to sand it.
