I looked at my Peg board that I have had for many years and I am seriously considering painting it but I wanted to see if anybody on the board have painted theirs. How did you keep paint from dripping thru the holes and what type of brush did you use?? Thanks for any help you can send my way !!

I haven't painted peg board, but seems that using spray can paint would work best.

spray paint is the best or use a roller that's not to wet, give it 2-3 coats.

​I used a roller on mine but spray paint would work also.

Maybe one of those foam mini rollers and roll most of the paint off before hitting the pegboard.

I used one of those small foam roller brushes that has no knap on them so they don't cary a lot of paint. Two coats did the trick.

I bought the pegboard that is white on one side. You will want to spray it with a primer first as there is a finish on the white board that is kind of slick. I drew out my design and then used regular craft paint to do the Carpenter's Star, doing 2 coats for good coverage. I then sprayed it with a poly clear coat, I think I did 3 coats.

Cute quilt block on peg board.

I third or fourth the foam roller suggestion. You just want to keep the paint on the lighter side and use more coats. Also I always prime first and then paint, but I always pass on the paint with the built in primer, I just don't think it works the same way. Post pics!! We have peg board sitting in the garage unused that I keep begging my hubby to bring in for me
