Are the covers easy to paint? Also, can they be easily cut to fit specific lengths?

They are very easy to cut. As for painting I've never tried but they seem like it would hold paint well.

If you're going for a light color it'll take two coats to get a good even color. If you're going for a dark color, like I did, most pieces took three coats and a couple pieces still needed a little touch up.

Yep, very easily paintable and can be cut with hacksaw to any length fairly easily. They are made of pretty durable, yet soft plastic... I would recommend dry fitting, cutting to length, fit wires, apply to wall, then paint. They've been on the walls about 6 months now, and the adhesive tape has finally given way. A little more double sided, thicker tape, ought to do the trick.

I would recommend using a low grit sandpaper to rough up the smooth finish before applying any paint. I used a spray paint made for all surfaces, without roughing, and it chips off easily. They can be cut to fit but will require some sort of saw and a table clamp.

Yes. Very easy to paint as is real wood, not plastic shlock. Put a couple coats of white paint on mine to match wall and door. Could have left it unpainted as looks very nice the way that it arrives. Kind of a light maple color.

That would depend on the variables, like if the holes aren't stripped and if you find replacements that fit the holes present. Basically they just screw in... so, yes they should be very easy to replace.

My best advice is contact the seller, he can customize the size of the covers for you. They are exceptionally well made. Ended up buying two different types of covers from him.

Ellen - I made the covers for mine. I'm not sure I have every seen covers to buy. They are not overly easy to make, but it is certainly doable.

they can only be cut at specific intervals. sorry. I've heard people spray paint what they don't want lit with plastic friendly paint.

They stick out about an inch but they are covered with plastic covers. I have never had a problem with them marring the walls.

Yes, panels come out easily and replacing with regular curtain panels (altered to fit if need be) or homemade is easy (I did it).

59" x 1-1/4" high-tech covers. Easily cut to length with ordinary scissors and are easily installed without special tools. Cover up unsightly wood or metal closet rods.

Yea, you can repaint them. Just make sure it's a professional job or it will peel.

It's a smooth plastic surface, so it would not be very easy to paint. But I'm not a pro so I guess anything is possible.

Yes, I think they could be painted. You could probably do it before assembly, too, which would make it look nice.

Very smooth, like drywall. This will cover the ridges in paneling well, but not larger defects like holes or raised defects like nailheads. As long as you butt the seams tightly, a good quality paint will cover the seams

We have just used regular washable tempera paints and cut little squares of paper to fit. We have used colored and patterned paper for it. Ours came with octagon & square paper. We could have cut octagon but the squares were so easy to make a bunch.

You can definitely cut them to size. They are off white vinyl and slightly shiny, so I'm sure you can paint them

Pretty easy. It is also forgiving, so if you discover a piece was put together upside down or something, it's easy to fix. The pieces go together using a series of cardboard tabs, inserted into slots. Since it is cardboard, if you own a pair of garden gloves, that would be a good safeguard against paper (i.e cardboard) cuts! Otherwise, it's probably harder with an audience, so if you can manage it when kids are at (pre)school, or asleep, that's a good idea :) Allow 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how proficient you are with do-it-yourself assemblies.

Yes, it is easy to trim the cover to size. I recommend not trimming the end that connects to your roller. It messes up the rolling process. Keep that end straight, but the rest can be cut to match any shape pool without hurting the cover.
