Can this be painted? It would probably be a pain, but has anyone painted one of these?

The wood appears to be raw, so one could paint it. Problem, as I see it, is when sliding the wine bottles in and out, the paint will quickly wear away or "scuff" and be unsightly. Painted, of course, one then loses the lovely natural ash look and smell of the wood.

If you can't stand beautiful natural wood, I guess spray paint would work. From many angles, allowing dry time between sprayings.Luv mine. Can't imagine painting it.

We used a stain on ours so you could certainly paint one. We used the stain before assembling it so it was easy.

I wouldn't try painting until it is put together, otherwise the pins might not fit into the holes for which they are designed. I used a mallet to assemble my various wine racks for more security. The ash wood is so beautiful units natural state, why would you want to paint it? Even my pieces that are 25 years old have been moved several times and reassembled to fit new spaces in new homes!

I would consider it no harder than normal paint. Use primer then paint or you can use a all in one paint that includes a primer.

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.

I am not sure if it can be painted, but we have a elongated one. Enjoy it is the greatest after a while you forget it is there.

According to the manufacturer these cannot be painted. The paint will eventually flake away and it does void the warranty. Having that said, there are paints out there that are designed for plastic. I have never heard of anyone successfully painting it without the paint flaking off eventually though.

Good point! We haven't painted yet on it.. Maybe use chip clips? Lemme know if that works:)

Yes, it can be painted, but it should be abraded/primed so that it will accept & hold the paint without flaking.

I don't think you could paint it. The color is almost tan/ earthy color. Blends In nicely. Once our plants come up we don't even see it.

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

Hello Amazon Friend, No. I have not painted it. That is a superb idea, though. My hutch is still holding on real well and it has been in the direct weather since I purchased it about 1 1/2 to two years ago. The only thing that broke was the 'angle latter' that gets the little critters to the upper level. I had to invent one myself. Funny thing, my critters are not little...they are Flemish Giant rabbits! So, the hutch is very capable of holding 'heavy' weight for a long period of time. My Flemish Giant rabbits weigh (full body weight) 8 to 10 pounds! I use this hutch as my 'Holding' cage prior to processing the rabbits for meat. The cage is only empty about 1 to 2 days a week. Other than that it holds up to 30 pounds (3 rabbits) very securely. I like the idea of painting the OUTSIDE ONLY for better protection of the weather. I'll try that !

Never tried to paint it, however, I read some helpful info on West System's site about painting it. I have mixed dye in it with no problems.

Yes, it can be painted. It does need to cure for 24 hours. I've also used something called Bondo which I got from Sherwin Williams but is sold elsewhere. That cures quicker. Make sure if you use the PC Products, you use the sealer

Painting is possible. It has a shine to it so may need sanding. Staining would seem tough with the finish. I thought about the same thing but it does look nice as is.

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

Although I haven't done this myself, I would think that it could be painted. I don't see why not.

Yes, I think they could be painted. You could probably do it before assembly, too, which would make it look nice.

I'm sure that it can be painted with the proper prep. We ended up returning ours do to change in design plans.
