I think so but I am not sure. Try a little on a test piece , set it out in the weather for a few days / weeks depending on the urgency of your project and see what happens. It wouldn't take a lot of material to do the test. The test piece should only be about one square inch.

The product is weather and waterproof. Just make sure the paint dries and cures and as a precautionary measure apply a layer of transparent nail varnish to add a smooth finish.

To apply, the surface must be completely dry. Once the paint dries sitting water should be okay. I used this paint on my outside concrete steps and it held up very well.

I assume you want to know if it will wash off in rain, right? Haven't tried it myself, but I THINK it would be safe outdoors (it's certainly nontoxic, another concern); you might want to coat the surface with a clear coat like a spray enamel after it dries. Hmmm.... That's a really good question! You might try the company folks directly, too. They're really nice, friendly, and helpful.

I think it would not be a good idea. I have already thrown away the empty can, but I believe it is for outdoor use only. It has a very strong unpleasant odor that last for a long time even when painted.

I sprayed mine with polyurethane to cover up some mess ups.. worked out real well... so I assume you could paint it as well..

As long as it's not water based paint like white wash or something I would think it will be fine

I don't see why not. The finish is not real durable. We have put Waterseal over ours after one season. A good outdoor paint wold probably work fine. If you wanted to do this I would consider doing it before assembly.

It is for inside use I think, but if you spray painted it with a clear protective paint it would probably be OK outside for a few years.

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

I see no reason why it couldn't be painted. It is a plastic surface so the only precaution would be to use a paint approved for painting a plastic surface.

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use!I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems.The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

Yes it can be used for outdoor items. And it does dry clear. Follow the directions and you will have success.

Hi Martha, I have not used this on outdoor products. I imagine the sun will cause the paint to crack over time.

I noticed the surface absorbed the paint markers I used - so I suspect it would also absorb the rain and become quite soaked. The foam core might help it stand up to a few sprinkles - but the surface does not appear to be water proof.

It is waterproof although if left outside for any length of time, starts to weather. Ours lasted outside in a hot damp summer for 2 weeks before we had to lacquer it. With the lacquer it's now been outside for 2 months without a problem. Not a great solution but it worked.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.
