The only color available is a dark brown, so I was thinking I could paint them. Has anyone tried painting these? Does it take paint okay?

I probably wouldn't. You would have to sand and prime and it would not be worth it. The major concern would be the veneered parts such as the sides of the table as well as the front part of the door. In my opinion painting veneer can get a bit tricky.

I think you would have to sand it and prime it. Too much work for me but if you're into it...

I did not paint mine since they were very close to the siding color of my home. But if I were to paint them, I would use a paint designed for siding and make sure the louver openings are open to prevent them from sticking together..

I don't think they can be painted. The paint would not hold onto the casings.

I put electrical tape over them, which has worked great. Not sure about painting. Put the tape on them to help prevent shattering. This has nothing to do with poor manufacture, its just a property of neodymium magnets -- amazingly strong, but they chip very easily.

Most people don't paint them. I didn't. But I've seen them painted and in my opinion they look better painted. I put Amorall on them to give them a darker look.

I think so. The color is a VERY deep and dark brown.....literally just today I thought to myself actually HOW dark they are and that they almost look black next to certain pieces of furniture. Hope that helps!

They are not paintable or stainable. They are made of black plastic and paint or stain would not stick to them very effectively.

Hi Brian. my husband, who installed them, said that they should be easily painted with outdoor spray paint specifically for plastic.

They come in black plastic, yes they can be painted, yes you should use primer

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

I would have to say no. They are a very dark brown and I would never mistake them for black.

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.

They look like just black plastic. The company says they are paintable but I did not paint them and I think they look fine.

Can you paint right on them? Then can you use polish remover and start over?

I would say yes if you sanded them you could paint them. Stain... not sure. Good luck!

I can't see why they would not be able to be painted. The plastic is textured and it has a sheen to it. They appear to be working well at keeping the cold air out.
