They paint beautifully. I have a bench on the front porch that was painted (cheap outdoor paint at Lowes) 5 years ago, and still looks good. The one on the back patio was just last year--and of course it looks great. These are absolutely great benches that hold up well..

Wash the resin ends with Dawn Liquid Dish Soap in hot water. Do not rinse off--just let dry naturally. Then paint. Mine have held their paint (without chipping) for 10 years! Also, to prevent the 2 x 4's warping in the North Carolina Humidity, I put a 1 x 4 brace piece under the seat (going from front to back) at the 3 feet mark, and another brace down the backside of the back (again in the middle) with a carriage bolt through each 2 x 4 and the brace. Gives them extra strength, and they will never warp. Then I paint the whole unit. They make a lovely addition to any garden setting. I love these benches, and plan to build one more for my new patio.

You can use either brush on or spray paint for the resin. Either works, just remember to wash the piece down with Dawn dish soap in hot water and let it dry first. Then paint.

Might be able to use the plastic paint at Lowes or Home Depot in spray cans. I think Krylon makes such a paint. May need a plastic primer first though. Krylon may make this. Not sure.

Hi Chris, it is not too complicated to build, but painting could be a different thing. Good luck!

I probably wouldn't. You would have to sand and prime and it would not be worth it. The major concern would be the veneered parts such as the sides of the table as well as the front part of the door. In my opinion painting veneer can get a bit tricky.

Don't know why not. It is a beautiful piece. Probably needspecific paint for plastic.

You could but they are very small. You would need to put an entire row of them on the back. These are more for the tips of the legs of the chair. I'm sure that they would have a better product you could use for the back of the chairs. I bought these to use as bumpers on the back of the paintings I frame.

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.

Not really sure, but I'd imagine if you had the right kind of paint, you probably could...seems like you can paint anything these days. Seems like the crafty websites love to use spray paint for a lot of old furniture, but I don't know if you need a primer (this is assuming you're looking to paint the entire unit). Maybe Better Homes and Gardens, or some other DIY site may have some insight on painting particle board furniture. If you're actually only looking to paint designs on the piece, you might consider painting a little spot on the inside of the unit, or some other inconspicuous spot, to test it out first before committing. Good luck!

Yes, I would just lightly sand each one with a 180 grit sandpaper . And then paint light gray. :0)

I have not painted my chair however I understand that it is paintable with a solvent-based spray paint. Hope this was helpful. Quantity:

Yes but you will have to paint/stain over. Product is can be sanded smooth.

You can paint it, but it would void the warranty. As far as the type of paint to use I would contact a local paint store.

I'd say paint will be fine. I've used mod Podge on them frequently. But they are basically thick chipboard, so not sure about baking. You get 50 of them, so you could do an experiment.

The chairs are made out of the same material that composite decking is made of. The websites for the manufacturers of composite decking say that it can be painted. Therefore, you should be able to paint the chairs.

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

well, I haven't tried it ,but maybe gluing on the understand strips of flat wood. They probably sell something like that at Michaels, Joann's, or Hobby Lobby. Good luck!

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

Yes, I know you can cut them with the proper tools. I have not painted them but I don't see why you couldn't.
