3po3 on Nov 30, 2012Hi Bernice, I unfortunately don't have a good answer for you. I Googled it and found conflicting testimonials from folks. Maybe you can paint a small spot on the back of the lamp and test the touch-ability. Ideally, you would even be able to remove the paint spot if needed.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 01, 2012Steve G is correct on this. These lamps work by the grounding effect that occurs when you touch the metal surface. Unless you leave a small area untouched they most likely will not work by touch if painted.Helpful Reply

WallsTreat Studio/ Kass Wilson on Dec 06, 2012You may want to try putting on a latex glove and seeing if it will work. I know that touch screens will not work while I am wearing gloves. . . hence the reason I still have a dinosaur of a phone.Helpful Reply

Tammy on Nov 06, 2014Hi Bernice.....Yes you can! I just finished painting my small, old brass touch lamp (with gass-insert shades) with a metallic brushed nickel paint and they work perfectly and look great! Go for it!Helpful Reply
