As far as I can tell, they weights are not painted. They appear to be solid chrome. The seem well made. The only issue I have with them is that the collars come loose with use, but obviously can be tightened again.

I have owned these dumbbells for 3 months and they have worked out great. No chipping of paint, however, there is a slight oil smell when you first open the box but this disappeared within the few two hours. The dumbbells are all chrome no black center. They look great. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I have had these dumbbells for over 4 months. They are heavily used, and I have had no chipping and have seen no black paint. The chemical smell they have when you first open disappeared in a couple of days after airing out in my garage. Very pleased with them. You can't beat them for the price.

Yes it is. I haven't painted mine yet, but it is advertised as such and has a lightly textured surface that paint should adhear to well. Hope that answers your question.

It is mostly painted on but I think there is a bit of engraving g of the logo under the paint. Si if yiu try to clean it off you will still have a faint image of the logo

They are unpainted. Many fans paint the minis themselves, so any painted image you see is a result of that.

This is supposed to look "sandy" so there is lots of variation in the paint. That's not a very good pic, but if you're concerned about the paint, buy it in store. If amazon is selling it for less, target will price match if it's a) sold by amazon (not 3rd party) and b) in stock. At least then you'll see what you are buying.

I read someone's post on a another tv that said the "small cosmetic damage" was nothing more thing some sticker residue. Here's to hoping mine comes in that good of condition too. I'm saving over $200 buying this way.Keep in mind, if the item is being listed as Very Good by Amazon, chances are, the cosmetic damage isn't too bad. Now, if it had said 'structural damage', I'd be more worried.That's just my take on it.

Did I get a fake? I bought it on Amazon and the paint/metal definitely chips. After a year or so almost every "tooth" has chips that are missing. I can also see the silver metal where the edges on each tooth is now gone. It must have gone somewhere...

It doesn't say anything in the listing as being painted black. It does state that they need to be sanded and prep work is needed before paint

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.

Mine arrived with a very smooth finish. I sprayed painted it black without sanding and it looks great - very smooth and even finish. I can't speak to how evenly it would take a stain but the piece definitely arrived already sanded.

The legs appear black online but are a bronze stippled with black, similar to faux painting. I don't like solid black because it looks harsh. this color blends with most everything.

It's very heavy duty, and it seems to be painted well, but it is steel. If the paint gets chipped, it will start to rust. How long it lasts will be a direct result of how well you take care of it. If you keep the scratches covered (repaint them) so it can't rust, then it should last a very long time.

I have never had an issue with the paint--mine is even. The only part that appears painted is the blackish background behind the lion, and the whole piece has a sort of antique finish to it. I've had mine for more than 4 years and have had no issues with regular wear. Hope this helps!

Is it the black paint layer on the outside that is loose and wrinkled? Ours had some "chunks" missing and "seam lines" on the 2 sides without animal organs on them, but it's just from the target being removed from the mold it was cast in.We really love the target, but of yours seems defective, swap it for a new one.

Probably could be scuffed and painted. Only the grille edges that show are chrome. the rest is black , on the one I recieved.

The painting is beautiful as it is. I will suggest don't paint it, it would look terrible. No paint.
