If you wanted this darker could you stain it or must it be painted?

I would think you could just go ahead and stain it darker, it does not need to be painted when you get it. We've had ours going on two years and it has held up very good to the weather, of course we live in southern CA, but the color is still very good. I hope this helps.

It can be stained. The wood is not "finished" and I have used a stain like preservative on it since I leave it out all winter and the wood accepts it well. Paint would seal the wood and I believe that would promote premature rotting.

it already has a redwood stain on it, so unless you want to re-sand it I would say no. you might be able to paint it but you'll have to experiment with different oil bases to see what would stick.

Painting should not be a problem. A light sanding and you should be good to go!

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 would paint it first, if I were you.The paper is somewhat porous, and once you seal it with paint, it should help keep your stain nice and even.Best of luck :)

It comes stained... In fact you can smell the stain pretty strongly when unpacked so you'd probably have to sand it down again to paint it.

I think you can. Color is gray if I remember I used paint after it dried to match color.

This unit comes with a stain already applied. You may be able to order it without stain and then stain it yourself but you would have to contact the manufacturer directly. You could probably use another stain and get it darker but once a stain is applied it's pretty much done unless you sand every piece down to raw wood again. Hope this helps. Sorry for the long delay but the question got buried in my email.

I painted mine white. No problem. Not too sure it would accept stain, anyway. It is sort of a rubbery surface. I painted it first, tacked it down around the base of a round stair landing and then touched it up. No problem.Good Luck

I agree - almost anything can be painted black - not sure why you would want to - the natural finish I think is very nice

You can spray paint it for sure, but you might want to take it to the hardware store and make sure you get the correct type of paint for it.

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.

You would need to use a metal primer first, but yes this could be spray painted a different color and still look good. I would assume you would need several coats of the new color.

You can paint it, but it would void the warranty. As far as the type of paint to use I would contact a local paint store.

Yep! Painted or not. If you are going to stain, you want to let it dry completely, like two days, before trying to stick to the wood. Also, make sure there isn't saw dust before you start sticking.

Not easily. It's a clear hard satin finish over stained wood. You'd have to sand it lightly to get any paint to cover well.

I didn't paint it but the stain worked really well. If you have a piece you might try a test on the reverse side of the flexible molding.
