I painted mine with melamine paint (resists scratches better and is scrub-able - so it's really durable). It looks like specialized custom storage rather than junk. Our hardware store has an item that goes on special quite frequently that is a 2x4 sheet of peg board that is thicker than the usual stuff. This is 1/4" thick rather than 1/8" so it feels really sturdy. I also prefer that has the larger holes/hooks because they seem more substantial.<br />About painting it once it's up - I think it would work just fine - but if there are only a few screws holding it up I'd suggest taking it down just to make the painted surface stay flat - the paint won't run down and make lumpy streaks on your nice smooth painted surface. I am about to paint another 2 or 3 pieces to hang horizontally (longest side parallel to floor) over each "wing" of my corner computer table and In a couple of other places.grandma cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717889936559693992.post-15018167116080365082010-02-01T08:50:56.453-08:002010-02-01T08:50:56.453-08:00oh lookie! they make pretty squares! thank you for...oh lookie! they make pretty squares! thank you for sharing!j. wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123562404940030878noreply@blogger.com
