Melissa V on Oct 26, 2016Not sure what look you were going for, but that's not real marble. I think it looks nice the way it is, maybe do something with the base and glass trim.Helpful Reply

Deanna Nassar on Oct 26, 2016Everything can be painted, just a question of what kind of look you want. You will need to scrub with dawn to be sure there is no grease or oil on the surface. Plan on two coats(at least). First an acrylic latex. When dry go with a gloss or semi gloss to finish, depending on how shiny you want it. Another option is a counter top refinish product. You could keep a marbled look but have different color. Stop by your local paint store for advice and selection. Don't forget a drop cloth or two or a lot of newspaper.Helpful Reply

Jennifer Weber Ferguson on Oct 26, 2016Yes, it can be painted - make sure to give it a light sanding for a little tooth and then use a Bonding primer - XIM has a great one that I use all the time.Helpful Reply

Designer Diane on Oct 26, 2016Why would you want to paint fossil stone and make it look like a cheap table? Just buy a cheap table and paint it. Sell this one to someone who likes the stone.Helpful Reply

Delicia Ambrosino on Oct 26, 2016Imagine it stained. Like wood I can imagine all the striations of the marbled colors popping. All I know is this. It has to be cleaned well and roughed up to ensure that any treatment it has had is compltely off. Sometimes marble is polished smooth and then a special wax or polymer is applied....otherwise the marble would stain and rarely does stains come out of marble... I know, I bled on a piece once.Helpful Reply

Susan Hutchins on Oct 26, 2016This table can be painted. Scrub it real well to remove the dirt and grim. Paint or spray with primer. All to dry. Paint or spray the rest of the table. If the legs are to be left black, good for you. Clean the legs & spray them with black paint.Helpful Reply

Ell7769207 on Oct 26, 2016Yes, but why would you paint the stone? I would paint the base and if I did not like glass insert. I would inset with planks of weathered wood planks that complement the stone and base. Give it a weathered Country lookHelpful Reply

Sue c. on Oct 30, 2016I'd like to know where people get off being negative and nasty about someone elses taste in home furnishing. That nastiness deserves to booted to the curb with class, style and good manners just as you did Margaret. Congratulations.Helpful Reply
