Is the surface of this Umbrella Stand paintable ? I do not want Black.....but the Stand is the best one I have seen for a free-standing Umbrella.

I'm not sure it is. It feels like the same sort of texture as Teflon of sorts. Perhaps the paint could be stripped off but I'm not sure.

I don't see why you couldn't paint it...the surface would let paint adhere to it...it's not plastic, but made of a heavy metal.

I would guess yes, it can be painted. It's a good stand, and works great, even in our windy conditions.

Correction: Use 120 Grit sandpaper...not 10 grit - my phone created a typo!

Here's the deal - anything can be painted. That said, ensure you have properly prepared the surface...my suggestion would be a rough scuff with some 10 grit sand paper, a good wipe down (isopropyl alcohol...quote until rag is clean), all purpose primer, and finally, your selected topcoat. Ensure you check the manufacturer's suggest paint cure times. Another rule of thumb is to make sure you apply light coats of primer and topcoat until you have received the desired effect. Good luck!

I am told it is paintable, but I have not painted any of my Speakercraft speakers. I'd suggest you contact the manufacturer. Ted B.

Can the globe be removed from the base? I used to have one like this and the metal base rusted so I want if can be spray painted (without the globe on) in case that happens to me again.

Yes it is. I haven't painted mine yet, but it is advertised as such and has a lightly textured surface that paint should adhear to well. Hope that answers your question.

As far as the stand goes, I do not see why not. If you are going to leave exposed to the elements, i.e. rain, sleet, or snow, it is not "rust proof" although it is painted. Hope this helps.

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

I am not sure if it can be painted, but we have a elongated one. Enjoy it is the greatest after a while you forget it is there.

Hello, I'm sure once sanded down you can paint the item, but it'll void the return policy and damage the reflective chrome finish. Thank you, Edgar Manhattan Lane Support Team

I don't think you can use a stand with this table. The way it's made I think an umbrella will work without a stand. The table will serve as the stand.

Yes to both questions. I bought this last year to go on my deck. It is out of the sun and doesn't get very wet when it rains. I did put a couple coats of Rustoleum clear paint on the shelf and the baskets before putting it outside and brought it inside over the winter. It's still in really good shape. I did repaint the stand with black Rustoleum before putting it out this year, because it was a little faded.

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.

Yes. Very easy to do and looks great. I spray painted mine black and can't tell that they were not professionally painted.

Yes - I painted mine and it took paint well. i lightly sanded it - just roughed it up a bit - and painted it with 2 coats of paint. That was almost 4 years ago & it still looks great.

This cover is paintable. I painted it to with my wall color when I painted my living room. It looks awesome, actually, it's not noticable at all. Mission accomplished!

hi - as a buyer not seller - my thoughts are 1) they paint this black and its dirt cheap but you could paint over it and 2) I searched for a dark gray and found no one made colors but some places sold a primed not painted variation which might hold the paint better but it cost more then this one cost. "Junk Yards" which is where I thought I could get a good used one in my color - online at least - seemed to avoid telling colors and still charging more - .............. That is my experience (so I kept the black as black since the gray I needed is truly dark)

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be painted. The wood is smooth, but I don't think it would need to be sanded before painting it. I didn't paint the ones I bought, but that was by choice. Hope that helps.
