Don't see why not. I've seen cabin doors on boats in White, black, smoked plexi, and teak. Hell, really I think it's whatever the owner of the boat likes. He/she is the one that paid for it and maintains it, so why not?

What I was asking is that do you think painting it would hold up? I spray painted my rod holders and was thinking I bet I can paint the door whitch is teak with krylon foe wood, I bet if I sanded it smooth and painted it it would look great with a plexiglass smoke middle

Truthfully, I just don't know. Teak is an oily wood, I don't know how it accepts paint. I do know that several years ago I used Valspar clear urethane spray on my 78's teak. It held up for several years before I had to redo it. So I'm guessing it would probably work ok. Try a test on a small area would be my suggestion.

I feel that if it holds up for a couple of years that would be fine cause it like I have to recoil it every year and if I don't it gets old and ugly I will let you know thanks for the come backs Krylon has a good spray paint for wood,

What destroyer said, teak is oily, you can cut it by wiping the wood down with thinner.

Me, I like the teak, so I just wipe it down & then varnish with Urethane or Epiphanes, no oil, that stuff is for yachts.

I expect one will last about as long as the other.

I heard acetone is the preferred wipe-down for teak before gluing. Would assume it works as well for painting...

Acetone works fine, I've used other more green solvents & they seem to work well to. The trick is to wipe is then paint quickly, if you leave it for a day, oil will migrate back out to the surface.
