As I commented in an earlier post a lot of caulks will say paintable and stainable most of the time it's bunk.the only way to be sure is take some scrap material use the product as the manufacturer states then try your painting or staining on the product.This test is the best other than just go for it and start backpeddleing to fix a f up.hope this helps,jeff

Many silicone caulks are not paint compatible. Paint will dry by
stretching across it but not really stick to it.
