Hello! I'm having a bit of trouble finding an answer to my question, and I'm hoping this community can help me :)
Basically I have these wooden snack trays (like the ones pictured here (http://www.mymodelships.com/product_images/pid_5121_22.jpg)) that I would love to repaint. But I'm worried the paint would be too sticky, and that I wouldn't be able to fold them up anymore. Does anyone have any tips?
Thank you!

Welcome to the forums!
Use an oil base enamel, it will dry to a hrder film than latex will. If your trays have a finish similiar to the one pictured - use a pigmented shellac primer like zinnser's BIN.
