Some reviews seem to speak of a paint/lacquer. It this on the inside or just the outside.

There was no paint/lacquer in what I received. Make sure to wash well before you use.

Ive had these cups for about a year and they are my favorite mug. I will say that the covers do have an odor to them for a few weeks. I washed mine several times to get rid of the smell. IT did take several washings but it did go away My mugs are solid Stainless Steel inside and out. They must be referring to the cover, it did have an odor. The mug looks like it did the day I purchased brand new. Im glad i got this response because I plan to purchase a few more. I checked a month or 2 ago and they were not available.

Mine do not have any paint or lacquer on it. It is polished stainless steel. I do love these cups and I actually just purchased more because now my husband loves them too and they are always at his office. They keep hot for a couple of hours if you use the lid, and cold for up to 8 hours. I highly recommend these! Only thing I would change is the rubber lid, I am not fond of drinking from rubber/plastic. I generally just leave the lid off.

The lacquer is only on the outside of mine. It is not apparent that they are lacquered until you've had them for awhile and they develop scratches.

It is not painted, but a printed paper wrap with decoupage to seal. The paper cut marks are quite clear, not sure how the others believe theirs to be painted.

It appears to be a plastic coated metal. The inside does not stain quickly.

Yes, fairly thin coating that seems painted on. Had to return mine because of chipping on exterior.

A lacquer coating? No.... In truth, I don't know what a "lacquer coating" is but I removed nothing. Just followed directions to season it. Sorry, I can't help more.

This thing works great....used it inside though....outside should work good as well..keep it clean and keep on painting

It is a black powder coat paint and made for outdoor use. I would expect that to be the case.

There's something on it that gives it a nice finish. Whether it's varnish or not, I am not sure.

It looks like oak and could have been stained. I chose a varnish without stain. Ot seems sturdy.

You are correct it needs to be enamel paint, I made the mistake of using lacquer based paint and the paint was soft even after many weeks of dry time

I painted mine with a good quality exterior paint. The finish on the wood looked inferior so I decided to paint it.

They have a light coating of something that appears to waterproof them (not sure of the material- possibly a lacquer).

I would call it a brushed finish on the inside of the funnel. Works well though.

No. The interior is not lacquered. The outside of both of mine are lacquered and have scratched pretty badly. The interior is not lacquered as far as I can tell.

It's only cosmetics, they are referring to the exterior of the bottle. Otherwise it's a color frost like coating on the outside.
