Hello. Has anyone used white paint to start with? Thanks.

I did not, but I would suggest sponge on a heavy coat of white then go threw the other coats then finish with the white again.

Yes, I assume so as you would just be adding a layer of paint over the white paint.

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

I have bought this before and it dried white, I tried using acrylic paint to add color, it kinda worked, I just haven't mastered working with resin yet. Hope this helps!

I have to say no. I painted a regular wall with chalk paint, let it cure for a few days and then used the SuperChalks to design a holiday theme. I just tried to wipe it off and I'm not having much luck. I might try the board cleaner or I just might have to repaint and use regular chalk. Love the Superchalks but perhaps the feedback is correct, don't use on porous surfaces.

First you start with a colorless epoxy. Then you can add tint (like from this kit) or any "really white" filler you think you can get away with. Depends on how much strength you need. If you just want a coating, go with epoxy paint. I've used expensive marine stuff that is very white.

It's white but it seems to me as if it's more of a primer paint. My husband says it looks like it wasn't painted, only primered. Hope this help!

I have. Best result apply and let dry overnight almost like crumbles the next day. Wipe away with a damp cloth. This is the only thing, and I've tried everything, that has made mine white again. I used in my kitchen too!

I hired someone, but he painted the wall with that white primer made for walls - I have horsehair walls which get really dry, so some kind of primer is necessary.

Hi Luke, Thank you for contacting Way Basics! Storage Cube is available in White color. We have 9 colors available for this product. Also, our products are paintable, but you will need to prepare the surface first before doing so. Make sure the surface is dry and free of any dust or other material that may hinder the adhesion of the paint. It will also be necessary to use a primer on the surface before painting to assure you get the best possible result. Because our products are water resistant, painting directly on the boards without a primer will create the paint to "bead up" similar to what may happen if water comes into contact with the surface. When choosing a primer, we recommend using a product that will bond to surfaces such as paper, formica or a similar nonporous material. As long as you use a good primer, you will be able to use a water based paint and paint the product to your liking. Please note that painting Way Basics products is at your own risk with no returns or exchanges. Jimmy Chiang Way Basics, Founder jimmy@waybasics.com

I have not. The paint looks like enamel...which is really glass powder that is baked on at really high temperatures. Mine has a finish that still looks brand-new. L~

I did mine in the spring (60-70°) and let it cure/dry for almost 2 days in my garage. It rained a few days later and it turned into a light white slime. I do not recommend. But give it a try. Oh and yes on new paint

Yes... gently, but firmly start on the outside edge... might start it with a screwdriver, but careful not to mess up the paint on the outside edge. It feels like you might break it, at least I did, but it finally started coming off. I gained courage to do this on my own, and with a bit more force, by watching this guy as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAVMytNt4hgGood luck, I hope this helps!

I'm in same boat! Bought white and now need almond! Think you can paint but think paint comes off after a while!

No, the latest version comes in white with some clear parts. Everything will need to be painted. There are decals that can be used to cover the model, but they work best over a painted surface.

I didn't do this myself but a friend did use the magnetic paint under the whiteboard paint and it worked. Make sure you follow the manufacturer instructions and the tips on checking for expiration date.

Yeah you can mix it with regular white paint I customize shoes and mix it with white all the time to give the shoes a temp coloring changing effect
