Can you paint the post a different color? If so, what kind of paint should you use?

Yes that could be done and I would recommend one only able to withstand the elements

This product is made with a pre-finished, white vinyl and cannot be painted. Vinyl products have the tendency to warp when painted if they are not factory primed.

Hi Jane, lamp posts can be purchased in other colors.[copy and paste] livingoutfitters.com/outdoor-heating-lighting/lamp-posts

Yes. I used a blue paint pen that coordinated with my color theme. A Sharpie would also work.

You can use a different post. No need to spend additional money for it unless you need it. That's what we did. We love it. Super sturdy and works awesome! :)

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

I painted mine with a good quality exterior paint. The finish on the wood looked inferior so I decided to paint it.

Sure, why not. The finish is not gloss so you might be able to find a paint that you can use without sanding it. However the best way would be do a light sand, paint with primer and then apply the finish coat.

hello...the best thing i can tell you is to take it to a paint store and ask if the kind of paint they would advise you to use could be colored to match the paint on your house...i think it is enamel paint on the box (not exactly sure) but, a professional paint store would be able to help you determine kind of paint to use and still be able to match your house trim...good luck....i really like this mailbox also

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;

I didn't have to paint it. My daughters Altima is black. I guess you could sand it and paint it whatever color you want. I would think they have different colors though.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new.I have had a lot of compliments on it. I also put my street address on it and they are in goldtone numbers.I'm sure that it could be painted a different color although it is a PVC texture, so you would have to take it by a paint store and asked them what type of pay would stick to the texture of the PVC.I hope that your post turns out as well as mine, and hope that you get as many compliments as I have had about my post and light.By the way, I mounted my post over a 4 x 4 post to give it more strength which was a good idea.J Howell Jacksonville Florida Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new.I have had a lot of compliments on it.

I regret to inform you that, at the moment, we cannot give the option for specific colors on this unit. We received these assorted, and there are too many variations in color (sand color, water color, glass color, plastic frame color, metallic specs in sand, etc.) without consistency to be able to give the option of selecting a color. We're sorry about that!

My husband painted ours. We have change the paint color twice because we wanted it to match our backsplash. The paint holds up well on it.

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

You don't paint it at all. It already has color. All you have to do is glue the pieces together. Carefully, though.

I sprayed mine with polyurethane to cover up some mess ups.. worked out real well... so I assume you could paint it as well..

The one that I received is the color of the posts in this picture. (I mean that it's all one color, the cream/beige color of the posts (not the sitting surfaces as pictured here)).
