Can these be painted? I need a set in gold and also a set in burgundy.

They have a waxy finish, so my best guess is that it would be similar to painting a traditional wax candle. I wonder if gilding wax would work? AMACO Rub 'n Buff Wax Metallic Finish, Gold Leaf, 0.5-Fluid Ounce

Thanks for your question George. We can paint the flag gold if you would like. Please be sure to email our customer service team at trozier@aodmailboxes.com to confirm this once your order is placed. Thanks!

i don't think so unless you have some top coating on them already. Watch the DVD that comes with the paint. You will need to clean them prior to painting of course but unless you have some glossy finish you should be good. But that is just my opinion and not knowing what you are painting over I strongly suggest watching it first. I painted over dark laminate and had no issue.

I bought the ivory one and it is definitely paint. When I received the ivory one, the color was more yellow than off-white so rather than return it, I sanded and painted it. I would assume the gold would also be paint. It's definitely a good piece though.

I don't think so. The surface is not wood-it's a laminate (plastic???) that does not seem conducive to taking a stain. You might be able to paint them with the right kind of paint.

Yes they can. Acrylic paint is best. You can also add stickers to them. I added monograms to a few. The rest I just left as is. Enjoy your coasters.

I would say no. The kit comes with 2 shades of white and gold. It might be possible to mix black paint with the white to get gray?

I really do not know, Phyllis. What you might do is to reach out to the vendor(s) and put the question to them. I do know that if they DO ship it to you, you'll be happy with this set. It's really beautiful.

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

Well, considering they are plastic, I'm not sure if the paint would flake. Certainly the front would not be able to be painted. I don't think this would work and I, personally, would not try it, but I am not an expert. Wish I could be of more help.

This is a special set so you have to take special care of them. You should hand wash them and and dry them so that the plated gold does not wear.

I'm sorry we do not paint the items. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

Yes, if you're adding them to a medium. They're very beautiful to work with. I've blended some in my acrylic paints for varying effects!

You could probably do it but parts are fragile and you stand a good chance doing damage. A good paint store may have a type of paint that would adhere to existing finish. I'd try that first

Im not sure, I wouldn't recommend it. The material is designed to be weather and sun resistant. So painting it would defeat the purpose. They still look great after two seasons, but they are stored in a shed during the Winter.

I don't know. It is a Christmas gift, and I did not try them. They look like they would, and the set is very pretty. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have painted them with acrylic paint many times and it works well. I painted them white first and then the paint of choice. They were made as a card holder for a wedding.
