I used a quality primer and semi gloss trim paint, both from Sherwin-Williams.

I used the molding around the bottom of a stucco-type fireplace. I painted it with the same paint as the fireplace. It looks great and has held up well - four months and counting!

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.

I think you could paint it with any good paint. I would just paint it after its installed, otherwise the paint could crack and peel. I stained mine and since stain kind of permiates the product, it would fine for me.

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

It's a rubber material. I painted mine white. I don't think you could stain this.

I did the same thing. Unfortunately, it will be white until you put a color into the mix. I returned the tintable one and just got the black bed liner instead.Kasen

I didn't stain mine, but the paint came out nicely! If you were to paint then clear coat it with a thin layer of polyurethane, it should be protected for a good amount of time!

When put on wood, the PC Petrifier "wets" it so it looks darker. When dry it lightens up. Might have a little residual white to it, but its nothing at all like white paint.

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.

I have bought this before and it dried white, I tried using acrylic paint to add color, it kinda worked, I just haven't mastered working with resin yet. Hope this helps!

It doesn't appear to be stark white to me but more of an off-white. If you're going to use it as a back plash, make sure to paint it with a good semi-gloss kitchen/bathroom paint and it shouldn't become unglued. I removed it with water but only after peeling off the top layer.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

yes. A friend of mine painted his and it looked good and worked fine. One advice is not to give it too many coats of paint .

I tinted it to a white that closely matches the color of the trailer that I was coating. I purchased a solvent based paint from an auto parts store.

It has a very fine almost plastic/laminate like finish. It would be best to ask at your local paint store which product will work best. My recommendation would be to rough the finish up with a fine sandpaper, clean the dust off, then use a good primer before painting it. I have tried painting similar products with an all in one primer/paint and had really poor results (weak adhesion), hence the separate primer suggestion.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

Did you end up painting it? I was having the exact same thought, so I'm happy to see someone else had that idea. Would love to know how it turned out if you did it.

Hi, Denise. Wish I could help. I've had it awhile, and stained it gray.I love it, though. :-)

Bring it to any paint store that carries Rust-Oleum, such as Home Depot. That's where I took it. You pick one of the the 'light' color, and they should be able to tint it for a very small fee, if not free. Good luck.

As I recall this is slightly off white and not as bright white as it appears in the photo. I painted over mine so didn't worry much about it.
