does it need to be painted

I painted mine to ensure a longer lasting finish. Plus, it's easier to clean after it's painted. I absolutely love this wallpaper. I've used in on my kitchen ceiling and several interior walls of my house. It's held up well over the years. Good luck!

I did not paint mine and it looks really nice. If I look at it from the right angle, I can see the seams, but no one but me seems to notice them. If you roll it with white paint, the seams will virtually disappear. If you've got any overlap, the seams will show worse and painting might be more important. Mine's been up for almost a year unpainted. I'll probably paint it someday when I get the energy/time or when I want to sell the house.

Not absolutely necessary, looks good as it is in white, but it will take paint very well.

I think it would wear better painted, but I guess you wouldn't have to. I painted mine and love the way it turned out.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

No paint necessary. Unless you really want it a different color. I'm sure regular spray paint will work.

Yeah, you can paint it, it is sanded pretty good too. I just put waterproofing on mine, and it looks great. But o answer your question, it is bare wood that should take paint well

No paint needed. pair of clipers, sanding sponge. That's all. if you never painted you will mess-up.will save you the head ach

I would not suggest painting over it because, even with good paint, it will scratch off. However, you could sand it down first and then paint it and that should work.

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.

Yes. We painted ours when we bought it about 10 years ago. Still working/looks good.

Yes, you could paint it. I thought of painting it myself if I didn't like the color. The louvered doors in the front are solid so the painting would be easy.

It is fully painted, as long as you didn't chip the paint I would think it will be fine. It is a great bar and very well built, I am impressed with it!

We used a stain on ours so you could certainly paint one. We used the stain before assembling it so it was easy.

I would say yes. It would need an outdoor enamel kind of paint. There are water-based enamels now so clean up is easier.

Yes, but it will require a couple coats. It comes out red and sands to a dark pink. Yes it needs primed and then painted. Allow about a half an hour between coats so the bondo gets hard enough. Good luck

I think it would look good. I do agree with the texture/dirt concerns, but painting should help with that some.

You need to paint it. It's an amazing product..my dad took 3 months to complete it..each little piece needs to be painted.

Painting should not be a problem. A light sanding and you should be good to go!
