yep! I actually just used these a couple days ago to draw a company logo on a painted wooden lighthouse. they worked amazingly, didn't smear at all.

My letters are painted but the wood is layered pressed-board so I can see why some may think it looks like a layer of paper or laminate. Overall, still happy with the purchase. Good luck.

Yes, I assume you can, if it's painted so it doesn't soak in and ruin the drywall. It doesn't seem to stain.

Signing with a pen will difficult due to the wood grain. If you use a marker it will bleed into the wood. Option is to laquer the top (or the whole barrel) and sign with a marker. Laquer will make signing easy and prevent it from bleeding into the wood. Another option. Sign with a carpenter's pencil. Later burn the signatures into the wood with an iron.

We did not use them on wood...just on laminated card stock. (They are fantastic for that!) Wish I could help.

There is no finish on the wood, it is raw cedar. As far as painting it I don't know if the natural oils in the cedar would hold accept and the paint. You might need some sort of base paint to seal the wood first. Good luck...by the way, the chairs are vey nice and well made.

You can write on it with pencil but it should only be applied over a thoroughly dry paint. Preferably water based. Charcoal works better. Or a soft pencil. You may need a few coats to keep pencil from breaking through surface and hitting the paint.

I wouldn't. It is beautify as is. However anything made of wood can traditionally be painted.

You could definitely paint the box. The finish in it isn't so heavy (varnish) that the paint wouldn't stick. I actually think that it would be a nice finish if part of the wood was exposed in some spots. Good luck!

You can write on them with markers but it will smudge or wipe off unless you use permanent markers.

The paper does not feel waxy on either side. While I don't know about using paint, you can write on the paper with a pencil, ballpoint pen, uniball gel pen, magic marker or felt tip pen. No problem.

Yea, you can repaint them. Just make sure it's a professional job or it will peel.

It has a nice woody finish to it, so I really don't think painting would be such a hot idea. However if you insist on doing it, you can paint it but I'm sure you will void warranty and it wont be easy to do a clean job.

In my opinion no. The material of the wood probably wont hold the paint on there

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

The letters are finished but they can be painted over... I didn't paint them, but it can be done.

I am sure you can paint any thing if you have the right primer and paint for the surface. Ask the paint store for the right products.
