Can I spray paint this white? Any disclaimer about painting this in the manual? I live in southeast Houston, Texas, BTW.

If the signal can pass through steel and concrete it'll pass through a coat of paint. But, Id go with lead free. If lead blocks Superman's x-ray vision then I might block the tv signal.

I don't have the answer but I submitted a question via their website and they got right back to me. I would ask there.

I see no reason you couldn't paint it white, except that the paint may interfere with a signal.

Yes, you can paint it. It would be very easy to paint it before you installed it.

You could probably do it but parts are fragile and you stand a good chance doing damage. A good paint store may have a type of paint that would adhere to existing finish. I'd try that first

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

I bought it in white. It has a finish on it. I think it would be able to be lightly sanded and painted.

Instructions say yes, but I didn't paint it. The white works really well where I installed it.

I did not paint mine and it looks really nice. If I look at it from the right angle, I can see the seams, but no one but me seems to notice them. If you roll it with white paint, the seams will virtually disappear. If you've got any overlap, the seams will show worse and painting might be more important. Mine's been up for almost a year unpainted. I'll probably paint it someday when I get the energy/time or when I want to sell the house.

You don't paint it at all. It already has color. All you have to do is glue the pieces together. Carefully, though.

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

painting recommendations came with the house... differing for various climates... white for hot climates and black for cold climates. I left mine unpainted as my climate is in between.

Matthew, just paint your cabinets. I wish I had. You may have to sand, or use a chemical stripper to prep the surface first; the kit comes with a chemical deglazer that you use first, but it was a pain. Beyond that I can't see any difference in what's in the kit and what you can buy on the shelf of a Home Depot, although it comes with a can of this stuff you use to pre-age them for a specific look. The final step is a glaze that is AWFUL and hard to work with, esp if you are painting your cabinets white. I wish I had just bought a hand sander and semi gloss paint -- which I ended up doing anyway, but I could have saved a lot of time and money.

No, but the underside is a cream color and not shiney. It might look fine for what you are planning to do, but you will probably want to paint it. Simply get a can of white gloss enamel spray paint. Good Luck. I love it.

Yes you will need paint and glue. It could be left white if you did not want to paint the model. It's a very detailed plastic model for an intermediate to experienced builder.

I like to apply it thick, and thin the paint some. When I did it in Arizona I did not have to do that. But moving to western Washington, I had to do it this way. So, it would depend on where you lived. I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it will help.

ha...funny you should ask. I painted my truck recently. first time turned out perfect. went back to touch it up and screwed it up. painted again and messed it up, however, doesn't look too bad. my mistake was not following the mixing directions on the paint. I followed the directions on the sprayer. I have entire truck with the orange peel effect. I kinda like it. good luck

This one looks as pictured and is ready to go, but if you want a difference color, you can repaint it. Hobby paint will spray much finer and thinner, and will likely weigh less, but doubt it will change performance much.

Even though I managed to spray paint (white ) using a cheap spray can of paint it is better to scrap the original black paint and apply a coat of appropriate primer and then the required color paint. That way it will be more durable and much more appealing . My van being more than 13 years old I don't want to spend too much on it that is why I just sprayed it without bothering to remove the original paint (black)it came with
