Can this towel bar be painted to match a different accent color? If so, what kind of paint should be used?

Yes BUT... It gets hot so you should use the same type of paint that is used for a radiator (steam or hot water) which can tolerate the heat. This is typically an oil or epoxy paint and NOT a latex. Premium spray paints such as Rustoleum probably are the best choice if the can be used for a radiator. Remove the label from the unit, clean & remove all the residual adhesive, then clean the entire surface you are going to paint, do one final cleaning with alcohol, (after this cleaning avoiding touching with your bare skin what you will be painting), than spray the premium paint lightly, apply a second light coat according to paint instructions (do not sand). Allow to fully dry & cure BEFORE turning it on. WARNING it will smell for a while even when fully dried & cured. Allow it to operate for 24 to 48 hours with NO towels on it, then let it cool (turn it off) & then use as described. Important note: even if unpainted, always have all the towel bars covered even if just with one hanging from the top bar and covering the others (otherwise it will run at maximum power, wasting energy, damaging your paint & act as a room heater). Hope this helps.

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can

My bar does not have a protective finish on it. When I use it I put a table runner on it and use coasters for the drinks. I think that putting an acrylic or polyurethane finish would be a great idea. I have also thought of purchasing a 'plexiglass" piece to but on the top. I hope that this helps.

I used Elmer's Carpernter's Wood Filler Max - Natural. It dried kind of blue-white. For a couple of holes that were in areas where more of the wood showed through the whitewash I mixed it with a drop of a craft acrylic paint in a tan-ish color - that dried a little more tan, more wood-like. Neither was perfect, but they were close enough on bathroom walls that had been paneled with a beaded white wood panel and trimmed with pine (?) molding.

I bought 2 of these towel bars in 2 separate purchases and the colour is brushed nickel, or stainless steel. I am very content with the colour. I have not seen the red version at all.

I'm not sure if you can do that because the color is the adhesive element in the combination. You could just use the most sheer color in two thin coats. I tried to find a better answer for you, sorry!

I have both the grey towel set and the platinum bath mat. It is not an exact color match, but quite close (enough that it is not jarring and they are passable as a coordinating set.)

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish. Why I used this &gt;&gt; was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

It is high gloss so you would have to sand it in order to paint it. If you have the time and want a specific look you cannot find else where than it may be worth the work.

This is an off white....kindof an antique white. You could easily spray paint it white if you wanted to. I LOVE mine! It looks so nice in my bathroom!

Yes, it is truly black and that's exactly what we did with it. It's a really nice piece. Heavy and strong. Secure to the wall well so when you pull on the towels it doesn't pull out. We used another one also and sprayed it white. We were able to bend the bars slightly. Enjoy

Yes, the towel bar can be replaced but you will need to disassemble the cabinet to do so as the others have said. I do not know if you could find a spring loaded bar to pop in there but it might be worth a try if you are desperate to replace it without any extra effort.

I think it's a pressed wood type material. If you wanted to paint it you would need a primer that could adhere well to it before painting it the color you desired.

Hello! The finish is meant to mimic the look of oil-rubbed bronze, but it is not actually bronze material itself. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

Hopefully this will help someone. I bought this to match my true white headboard/bed frame I bought from Rooms to Go (Belmar, if you want to look at website). It is NOT a perfect match and NOT a true pure white. Its the slightest bit more cream/yellow but I'm still very happy with it because the difference is very slight. It may even just be the gloss finish that makes it look different. I will try to add a picture!

Thanks everyone. I decided to match the aqua / turquoise color to the curtains. I thought that would look super with the colors in this design. I appreciate the help and know my brother and his girlfriend will love this!

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;
