Can this screen be painted over a white color or is there oil on the surface that would repel paint?

It is finished with a light oil based stain. My guess is that you could paint it if you used some thing like Rustolium spray paint.

Use a primer that will cover any type of paint, then repaint with the white. Primer is the key to getting fresh paint to adhere to previously painted surfaces. I use Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer for All Surfaces. Well worth the money.

There is a wax oil coating, the screen would be difficult to paint, I believe.

The finish on the screen does have an oily feel, so I have no idea if paint would stick without significant prep work.

There is a glossy finish (clear coat) but you could easily paint it. Use a basic primer first. A stain probably would not work.

I don't know. I didn't use any kind of paint over it. But it looks like you could paint over it. Sorry I could not help you with an answer.

It can be used on a white wall, but a screen will greatly improve it. It can help out colors/brightness and also give it a perfectly flat surface to display.

This type of paint was made to be sprayed over a painted surface. I dont see any harm in using it on other things, unless that object is made if real wood. There are clear coat paints made specifically for that so that the wood can stay protected.

If you are projecting on the wall anyway, paint it. If you were to buy a paint kit for a projector wall or have a professional do it the standard is to us a metalic silver for a base coat or prrimer, then cover that with white wall paint. This will provide a fantastic surface that will rival any screen. I should note that this doesn't work as well if your wall is textured.

Ornella, I am using my wall and no screen. It is an off white paint that was on wall and the picture quality especially HD is amazing for a projector of this price. My friends are amazed. Good luck and if you have any more questions be happy to give you my experience. John

You can if you want. I didn't buy one I actually look into and bought a Sherwin Williams high gloss paint that would give me the closest image to buying a high Def screen. After throwing the image up before I painted the wall I discovered the image from this projector was so clear that I didn't need to paint. And I have my home painted by my builder in a flat Sherwin Williams dove tail. When we have guests over they rave over the quality without a screen or similar high Def paint.

Yes. The vinylux white for painting worked for me. It's thinner than other companies so an extra coat of white was called for.

Any plastic paint (like plasti dip) that resists a little heat would do. Just make sure it's made for plastic.

I would not paint it. However this cabinet is available in a similar style in white at either Amazon or WalMart or both

Yes, I assume so as you would just be adding a layer of paint over the white paint.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

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.

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.

Pretty sure you can paint over it. I haven't painted over mine because I still use it for its intended purpose, however, painting over this would be just like painting over a whiteboard. If you ever made the mistake of using a permanent marker on a whiteboard you know, it doesn't come off; paint should be the same.

It's coated. I guess you probably could if you sanded it a little, otherwise your new paint will come off. Give it a try!
