We restore vintage travel trailers and some of our work has been done on
trailers from the thirties and forties which were originally skinned in
masonite and painted. We just prime and paint the replacement masonite. No
sanding required. The trailer on my home webpage is skinned in masonite with
a canvas covered roof! Check it out here. www.vintagetrailersforsale.com

Good luck,

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?
