It says this product is paintable but it does not say that anywhere on the tube. Has anyone painted it with long term success?

I have never seen this product painted. It is a self-leveling caulk for wide joints in concrete primarily. Used around pools and in expansion joints. I always allow it to start to set then cover the surface with fine washed sand (no dust). This gives it a better appearance and extends the life years beyond what it would be without some UV protection. It should be used in a fairly thin application either with foam joint material or sand below it. Typically it is only 1/4 to 1/2" thick.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

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.

Yes, I removed mine last week (for reasons unrelated to the product) and the paint is fine. It is not a reusable product, however.

Yes it can be painted. However you must sand the surface first to give the paint something to stick to. Following the painting you must spray a clear coat after atleast 48 hours.

I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered... » Read More I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again « Show Less

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

It didn't mess ours up when we baked it. I think they recommend baking it to make the paint permanent? I honestly couldn't tell the difference between what the pieces looked like before and after we baked them, but baking definitely didn't mess anything up. Good luck!

All I can say is that mine was and is working. Upon arrival the painter appeared in used condition and was very oily from the paint. It did take some messing with to finally work but haven't had any problems since. I've painted my whole house and garage. Hope this helps!

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

I know my daughter has played with it in the tub, and the paint hasn't washed off! No idea what would happen if you left it in an aquarium for months. Maybe a site like this has better advice: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/

The paint in bottle did not dried. It remains as it was before, totally usable. Because, after using last month, I followed the instructions and added a small portion of water in it, without sacking the bottle, and then closed the bottle.

The product description says it is "cast from durable polyresin." It is a "plastic" compound but you won't have any problem painting it.

You might and you might not. Some say theirs is great and others (like me) received tubes that don't even bubble up much clean up the meager "man made" stain. I had hoped I would be one of the lucky ones, but alas, no. Seller wont replace or refund. Bad business imo.

I would say it holds up better than most paints...but nothing lasts forever. It will have to be repainted in 2-3 years.

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 also haven't used this product as of yet. I would ask a paint professional such as Lowes or Ace. They have very knowledgeable people there...or test it on a old piece of wood! I believe that your paint top coat has to be flat paint . Also try YouTube; there is a ton of videos on there! Good luck!
