Can I use spray paint on this material and finish? Want to know how well the paint would withstand months of use; chips, cracks, etc.

I have spray painted a shelving system similar to this. However... I painted it with a primer first... This allowed the spray paint to stick. Not sure it's worth the effort to buy a new one for this purpose... but I was re-purposing an old bookshelf... so it worked for me.

It has a slick finish, I don't think spray paint will last. You would be better off finding an unfinished piece.

No it won't stick unless you use paint for plastic. Even then I would hesitate as the moisture might make the pressed board swell in spots. The backing is cardboard. I accidentally put it on backwards since it's colored on one side only. I spray painted the backing white. The paint did not stick to pressed wood part but I did not use paint for plastic.

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

Hi. The material is not course enough for the paint to bite into and will eventually start flaking off. Hope this helps.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

I haven't used mine for heavy duty purposes, but the paint has not chipped off. Maybe if you constantly slide heavy metallic objects on the top, the coloring may scrape off. I use it for boxes and other things and yet to see any wear on the one I put up in my closet in April of 2014

You could probably do it but parts are fragile and you stand a good chance doing damage. A good paint store may have a type of paint that would adhere to existing finish. I'd try that first

I used exterior paint only. But I'm sure it would spray stain. That would be thinner then paint. When I tested it with water it sprayed Nicly with water.

Never tried over spray paint, but I would assume that it would work. Paint is paint.

I don't think the paint would stick. Possibly a spray paint but would have a different finish.

I don't think I would- it might make it stiff. Regular spray paint would work better.

You can paint it, but it would void the warranty. As far as the type of paint to use I would contact a local paint store.

You can spray paint it for sure, but you might want to take it to the hardware store and make sure you get the correct type of paint for it.

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.
