I have painted lots of pegboard for customers-never a complaint. ''''' HINT''''' paint the backside of the board it is porous and your paint will adhere to it better. And no matter which method you use to paint it -your paint job will last longer. But I've always used a 'cigar roller' -they come in either sponge or nap but I found the nap to be better. You can get these in any Lowe's type stores and even WalMart. Just ask a clerk in the paint dept. Just remember to roll out your paint gently. I find using canned spray paint is just to over powering, it takes my breath away even when using it out doors. Happy painting

I painted mine - http://www.quiltingboard.com/mission...e-t250697.html
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.

I painted mine pale yellow to match my walls because the tools and jazz on it are busy enough for my eyes. I also bought trim to fit, painted it white to match my room trim. It looks less utilitarian to me with a frame. I used a paintbrush for the trim and small roller for the pegboard. Thought my old bedsheet would make a good drop cloth behind it on the kitchen floor. Wrong! Seeped right thru! Use a thick drop cloth or large piece or cardboard instead.

My hubby spray painted my pegboard. A very pretty pink color, that my little granddaughter picked out.
It took 2 coats for good coverage and it didn't plug the holes. Just don't over spray. Better to do 2 or 3 light coats than 1 real heavy coats, that will run or plug the holes. Whichever way you go, do light coats.
