Star Board Material

I agree. Nothing sticks including silicone or other caulking material.
 
i dont' think paint will stick. 5200 and other things like marinetex, 4200, etc... will stick enough to seal the gap but not enough to assemble parts together. I've done a lot of things with SB... (prop holders, jetski cradle, brackets, supports, etc...) most structural but always used screws of bolts.

since SB comes in different colors, you rarely need to paint it.
 
If the question by any chance refers to something you are thinking of making, King Starboard shouldn't be painted but is available in a few different basic colors, mostly quite subtle. If a different color is strongly desired , perhaps you could substitute a PVC product like Azek as it is quite paintable, can be cemented with very good strength with common PVC solvent & cement, and is otherwise similar to StarBoard in terms of easy workablility and only medium strength .
FWIW- while not recommended by King Plastics as primary choice for fastening, StarBoard can accept particular adhesives with the proper flame-prepping: http://www.kingstarboard.com/InfoCenter/glue.aspx
