I haven't used it yet. I used the Silver metal paint on a credenza and love it. I also want to clear coat it because it is very soft. Sorry, wish I could help.

I also haven't used this product as of yet. I would ask a paint professional such as Lowes or Ace. They have very knowledgeable people there...or test it on a old piece of wood! I believe that your paint top coat has to be flat paint . Also try YouTube; there is a ton of videos on there! Good luck!

I don't see why you would want to because its a very attractive finish...... I would assume it would be because its flawed in some way.......I am not an expert in painting but I don't think its a finish that would take paint very well.

I doubt it without chipping the enamel, and I'm not sure why you would want to. It's not very large, is not noticeable, and it shows you have a higher quality tub.

If that back wall was smooth and free from any grime/grease, I'm sure it would, if the installation was smooth with no air bubbles or pockets. It might be interesting to frame it in some way. We've used decorative molding from big box stores and painted them with acrylic metallic paints, to frame a glass mosaic tile backslash in a bathroom. Seal it with a clear coat of lacquer. Interesting project. Have you thought of 6x6 or 8x8 mirror tiles? More durable and easy to clean.

HiSince you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

I've used it over time for sealing bath tub wall tile and kitchen counter tile grout lines. I have not noticed any shiny finish after it dries so if I had to choose between gloss or satin, it would be satin.

I have not tried that, but perhaps. The outside is a matte finish and not coated. The inside is smooth and shiny.

I don't see why not, the finish is pretty standard. You can also use a non toxic stripper, they sell citrus based stripper at home improvement stores. Only obstacle I see to refinishing is that a lot of the wood is actually joined facing, so restraining may bring out the seams a bit more. Panels are jointed in a zig zag pattern, lengthwise. I hope I made sense!

I used a dual action polisher with a automotive black finishing pad. I had etched marble on a bathroom sink. Don't expect miracles with this product. After a lot of polishing the surface did improve but it was far from perfect. Good luck.

I would consider the finish to be closer to a satin finish than semi-gloss. I did our guest bathroom and it is not shiny as I have experienced with other semi-gloss paints. Love the results as well.

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.

I used this over a oil based product. The Generals Gel Stain, oil based. It worked very well on a bathroom vanity. I am referring the wood cabinetry portion, not the top counter. I use a polyacryllic top coat on some water based paints, if I am not using a wax finish. I use a lot of chalk paint to re- purpose furniture. I will be trying a new paint by Amy Howard, for that I will use her wax for my finish. Amy Howard wax dries to hard finish without a "melt factor".

There is a glossy finish (clear coat) but you could easily paint it. Use a basic primer first. A stain probably would not work.

use a nice piece of 1 X 4 or smaller and stain or paint it and attach it to the bar letting it stick out enough to cover the unfinished edges. This is what I did and looks nice.

There are a lot of "inlaid" type mirrors with a lot of raised edges where the wood and the mirrors meet. After sanding and taping, I suppose it could be done but it would be VERY tedious and, not knowing the quality of the wood under the silver paint, once sanded, it might not look like you want.

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why you couldn't re-paint the vanity if you sand it down well and use proper products/equipment. The vanity doesn't have a lacquer finish like laminate cabinets do; it's wood. I've been very happy with the quality of the vanity for the price. You will need to calk around the shelf area where the legs attach every couple of years because the you get a little surface crack but it's nothing major and you really can't beat this vanity for the price.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.
