			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.
