I need this in dark red, is it something I could sand and repaint??

It's not real wood. It's partical and has a coating, so I really don't think so.

In my opinion it will not sand well or hold stain. Possibly would be able to paint, but would require roughing up or putting a primer coat first. Not really wood. It is an ok piece if it it not going to be highly used. Will not hold up to high use. Just my opinion

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.

you can use real fine sand paper or you can use a scuff pad, just to take the shine out and then you can paint over it by brush, roller or spray paint it.

I think you could paint it with any good paint. I would just paint it after its installed, otherwise the paint could crack and peel. I stained mine and since stain kind of permiates the product, it would fine for me.

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.

It could be spray painted with an acrylic paint. Have not seen it in black.

Yea, you can repaint them. Just make sure it's a professional job or it will peel.

I'm not sure. Maybe you should contact Amazon and see if they can direct you to the manufacture. So far the only problem with mine is that it has faded. It looks gray instead of black. But spray paint can fix that problem.

I have brick wall paint and this is not brick. It is a deep red, not brick.

Yes, I have it on a dark red wall. So it stands out. I love and have received many compliments on it.

Well it doesn't come with the fake blood, which made it much more dark, like a purple/black with dark red undertones. I'd say if you want it more realistic than maybe paint it? I had to otherwise it looked a bit too dark for me. The design of it though is pretty realistic.

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!

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

It is unfinished and fairly well sanded. You would be able to paint it right out of the box before assembling.

I suppose so, but I don't think you can sand and stain the side panels, which are like wood-look (but not really!) masonite. I think it would be more bother than it's worth, frankly. You'd be better off painting it. (I used to be a painter, by the way, so you're getting professional advice here) :-)

I believe that you can get a vinyl type paint, but it may be expensive. Might be better to contact the manufacturer.
