Can this be painted and still look nice? I was thinking about painting it to match the trim on my house but don't want it to look tacky.

I don't see why not. Any paint that is suitable for metal should work fine. Of course, it probably won't look as nice as the factory paint job, but it should look pretty good.

hello...the best thing i can tell you is to take it to a paint store and ask if the kind of paint they would advise you to use could be colored to match the paint on your house...i think it is enamel paint on the box (not exactly sure) but, a professional paint store would be able to help you determine kind of paint to use and still be able to match your house trim...good luck....i really like this mailbox also

I see no reason why it cannot be painted. unless you have already put the oiled finish on it. If I had white cabinets in my kitchen I would have painted mine white.

Yes it can be painted if wanted. I'd suggest getting it powder coated. It will look the best and be strong against ever bumbling it without peeling. I hoped this helped

Yes, it should be paintable (that's a word now), but just know that you may have to do some drilling of your own for the screws for the doors. I had to drill the insides of the cabinet myself for the doors to fit on because the holes drilled by the manufacturer were set too far into the frame. Looks decent, but the work is a bit chintzy.

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

It is so very dark brown that the degrees of difference from black are minimal. You can paint it if you require a true black. Personally, I think it is a rich and lovely color and it goes well with the black in my home without looking out of place.

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;

yes. A friend of mine painted his and it looked good and worked fine. One advice is not to give it too many coats of paint .

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.

I don't think you could paint it. The color is almost tan/ earthy color. Blends In nicely. Once our plants come up we don't even see it.

It is painted but will probably start rusting quickly. I wouldn't leave it in the weather for long. At least put a tarp over it.

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

Yes .... it's wood so should be fine. I didn't paint mine .. i like the natural wood .. but it depends on your decor.

I have not painted it & personally like the clay pot look in the area that I have my litter box. Everyone so far has believed that it is a potted plant off in the corner! You would be able to paint it. You would need to sand it a bit and I would suggest using an oil based paint as well. Hope this was helpful. Again, we are very happy with this litter box as is!

I would not recommend painting it. Sauder has this product in a sienna oak.

Hi Jake. I think that it would be best to paint it. It has a non-reflective paint on it, making it hard to see. I hope that it works out. Enjoy it!! Pat King.
