RE: [motm] Paint vs Tolex (GREAT clone Tolex prices)

Paint tends to adhere much better to wood than to metal, though, even when
primed. That's why finished are "baked."  I'm not saying it wont work; just
do some tests first.

There's different textured paint.  I sprayed some of the "Make It Stone" 
paint on pine, and it seems to adhere just about as well as regular spray 
paint.  I couldn't remove any by hand or fingernail.  Hitting it with a 
hammer didn't chip chunks off, as the paint doesn't become brittle when it 
dries.  It only left a little wood mark right where the hammer struck.  I 
didn't use the sealer spray that comes with it either.
