Has anyone tried to paint this? I love it, but the black just isn't cutting it for me.

Yes!! After about a year of use. I've tried scrubbing it clean, but it still has black discoloration. Any ideas about how to resolve this?

Ofcos u need to paint more because of a big scale model. But if u wish not to paint it, it still looks ok. Color separation is really detail & accurate compare to 1/144

What kind of paint? Be sure to adjust the tip depth - you may have to loosen it. I had the same problem on the first couple of tries before I found the right height.

I would not recommend painting it. Sauder has this product in a sienna oak.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

Hello Lisa, We can't change the black in this image, but if you would like, we can cut away more of the black, so that it appears to be just the window frame. Just let us know. Thank You,

It should paint up nicely- they come on an peel-away paper backing which is similar to what body shops use for masking tape. It's all a matter of taste, but I think black-on-black would look really slick.

No, the only thing I've have found to work is using black vinyl. :( if anybody knows of a chalk paint that does work I would love to know.

I was not really happy with my result. I bought it since a friend of mine did it and it looked very good (she did the black). Mine (I bought the white) looked like I sponge painted. I think if you were to use a wadded up plastic bag, you might get better veining patterns as I had no luck with an artist's brush. I wouldn't do this in my kitchen, but in the bathroom it is something I can live with for awhile.

Well we have a brush that scrapes off all the burnt pieces. So scraping of the black paint was never a problem. But if you don't have a brush then i would recommend getting one or washing it by hand every time you use it! Hope that helped!!

It is painted black, and the wood grain texture shows in the paint. The paint is pretty thick, so light scratches dont show the brown underneath.

You could sand it off and then treat it again, to be xtra sure. But yeah once it turns black just paint over it.

I didnt notice the paint being poor on mine, I know one of the batman I order has battle damage but its supposed to. If youre not satisfied with the quality, contact the seller and let them maybe send you a different one. One thing I know is amazon is very concerned with customer satisfaction, so either the seller or amazon will resolve your issue if they can.

I agree with amber, the paint is similar to a primer. I would just paint it. The distressing is actually like lead pencil. You might want to try to wipe it off. Maybe one of those Mr Clean sponges would do the trick.

We really haven't managed to get all of it off yet. We used various grades of sandpaper and sanded the bejesus out of the door jam, but we gave up for bit because I was going crazy. When we finish doing that, we'll have to repaint of course. My husband also thinks paint remover might work as well but we haven't tried it yet. Mostly, I've been putting the whole thing off.

Maybe you've got a defective one. I think you can return that? my only question is " how come the one I've got, the paint are fading and cracking"?... I hope the Lenmar & Amazon can fixed these!... thanks...
