Has anyone painted on the cured surface? Do paints stick well?

Never tried to paint it, however, I read some helpful info on West System's site about painting it. I have mixed dye in it with no problems.

This produces an oily layer that forms when curing. I used acetone to remove the oily layer after the cure was complete, then worked quickly to remove the acetone with soapy water to keep the acetone from degrading the epoxy. After that, I applied a latex paint, which has adhered for several years.

It's very good, I've repainted Red frame with a set and they're still going. But be sure to shake them well and most likely you'll need to do more then one coat, let the coats dry 100% be for re-coating. Other wise you'll damage the first coat and waste paint. The metallic paint need more shaking then the others as well, but once it's started it covers just as well as the others.

The product description says work well on smooth surface. I guess it is not perfect on a painted metal surface. However you may try. I think you may want to try painting instead of using permanent decals in your case. Good luck.

I used it on a painted surface (buffet table)and it worked great. I did 2 coats, with a light sanding between coats. So far it's held up well.

The backing peels off. I prepare the area by cleaning it lightly and quickly with paint thinner, as it may remove the finish. Then peel off backing. This stuff sticks permanently and was great.

I used the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover (Paint+Primer). Scuffed lightly with 220 grit (knock down the ridge from the molding line if necessary), started with a light coat, let it dry well (2hrs) and followed with 2 medium coats. Looks ok for me.

I used matted paint but it was a flat wall... Not textured. It was fairly easy to adhere using the tool supplied, a though i did have to go back and fix it a few times because it would bubble upon settling. It took some time but stuck. I actually tried using some indirect heat from a blow dryer too when I first did it. Not really sure if that helped.

I would not recommend painting it. The veneer finish is very smooth. It would not hold paint very well.

Yes - I painted mine and it took paint well. i lightly sanded it - just roughed it up a bit - and painted it with 2 coats of paint. That was almost 4 years ago & it still looks great.

Mine cured to a matte finish. Used it to coat inside of my new infrared grill fire box to prevent rust.

We used a stain on ours so you could certainly paint one. We used the stain before assembling it so it was easy.

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.

I used Krylon's High Heat Max paint and it has held up well. http://www.krylon.com/products/high-heat-max/?gclid=CJDawZWX2b8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA You have to remember to prep the surface first or it won't adhere correctly and you will need to reapply after the first use.

It has a finish on it, but I wouldn't call it totaly sealed. I think if it was lightly sanded the new paint would stick. Have you considered chaulk paint? It adheres to almost any surface without any if little prep work.

Yes you can paint marine tex once it is completly cured. Just sand it to fair it out and paint away.

I've used decals from various manufacturers, updating and replacing as my son grows. So far I've not experienced any damage to the paint on my walls.
