the walls in my workshop are all pegboard which i love, but they are solid white with some weird blue splatter on it. since its my domain i want to go ahead and repaint the walls. im wanting to do it in a camo style. im going to cut out stencils on thick cardboard and go from there. my question is is there anything i need to know before doing it. im just going to use some good spray paint, but ive never painted pegboard before. thanks guys.

Ideally you would coat it first with a solvent based primer but rattle cans use a solvent based coating and I don't think you will have any issues with your plan.

Don't forget to cover anything you don't want painted! Even a little spray can has the possibility of putting out enough overspray to ruin your day :eek:
