Default painting hardboard

Using 1/8" dark brown hardboard as drawer bottom for very small
drawers with little load..color is too dark(brown)..can you paint
hardboard and will it stick to the slick surface? Assume a slight
sanding to rough the surface and enamel paint will work..anyone tried
this?


Yes you can paint the hardboard. My grand mother and brother in-law do
paintings on hardboard/Masonite, the smooth hardboards woul probably be the
easiest to paint and keep clean.
