what about the top finishing paint does it peal fast?

It could, since it's all made of composite wood and veneers. I use a placemat under anything I put on it, except books.

I don't put too much on top of it, but after having it a few months i dont have any peeling. I keep my laptop on it everyday along with tv remote and a book/magazines. I usually use a coaster and mat for my glasses and plates which helps I'm sure.

After owning it for few months I would say it gets scratched very easily so have to use it carefully.

Not at all. I bought it around Christmas and its used a lot and no peeling at all.

The top finish is like a vinyl sticker, so far mine is not peeling off. I'm just careful not to place hot surfaces like coffee directly over the table.

I've been using for quite awhile now and haven't seen any section of it that pealed off. Mine is still like new.

No it doesn't. And we found it a painting get top off without water dripping out bottem.

Sorry I cannot give a definitive answer since I haven't tried to paint it. It is lighter than the picture shows, however, it is an attractive piece. As we know, for perfection and having it exactly was we want, you have to pay. Price is right for this one. I also don't know much about paints. I believe it is doable but would have to gently take the top finish off. It may take a little effort but again cannot make any guarantees. Hope that was somewhat helpful.

I dont know for sure. All I know is that it's one of if not the best top coat I've used.

You might try rubbing the painted wood with a wet rag to see if it is color fast. If so, the polyurethane should do ok.

The stain itself doesn't smell that badly but you will want good ventilation to help it dry faster. Top coat depends on the top coat used.

Yes, I love this stuff and have applied it to several table tops. I usually pour it right on the table surface and hand rub it with an old t shirt. Coats go on quick and thin but they also dry quick. After 20 minutes or so it is ready for another coat. Also, if the wood you tested on was not smooth or maybe not stained yet (bare wood) it may absorb faster or soak into the pores more than on a stained piece. This finish is nice for when you have the color you want and don't want it to change after you apply the finish coat. Polyurethane is bad about changing the color after application. This will leave a nice sheen finish with minimal color change. Like I said each coat is thin, but I honesty prefer this method compared to thick coats. After two coats hand sand the surface very lightly with a high grit (320 -400) to smooth it out. After this the next few coats go on very nicely.

It will go over paint with no problem and you can work it into the details to make them "pop". However, I like it primarily for stained finishes. Another, and probably better technique with painted pieces is to use a tinted glaze -- you can better control the amount applied and wiped off, and you can use different colors (e.g., tea stain). Good luck.

I did our beach house dinning room table, which takes a lot of abuse. The kit comes with a high gloss top coat paint. I am very please I used this product and I have had no issues with stains.

I would have to say that it drys pretty quickly, depending on how much you put on it. Within a half hour. Remember, it needs several coats before getting the effect that you are looking for.

You do not need to top coat it. It does scratch rather easily without a too coat but under carpet it would be fine. I put this on the inside and outside of my cj7 before painting it. It's a beige color and has some sandy texture to it.

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.

For me, it was enough to add it to the paint! No finishing coat necessary. But that doesn't mean you can't. It was delightful according to my taste!

No I actually didn't get any topcoat with this. I like china glazes' matte. I think it runs 4 or 5 dollars

There is a bit of over spray but you get a better finish with less. I primarily use it for painting furniture but I would highly recommend this sprayer.

I gave it to my son as a gift. He loves it. All you need is paint. It is smooth painting.

It dries very fast probably within less than 2 minutes. Within a few hours you're paint will start peeling because it's so hard.......especially if you're washing dishes :)
