Painting a cork bulletin board?

Has anyone ever done this? I wanted to paint the cork board to give my craft room a pop of color. If it's possible, what kind of paint should I use? TIA!

  • The actual cork or the frame? I've only painted the frame, with spray paint

  • I've never done it, but be prepared for many coats since cork is quite porous. as for the kind of paint... I'd probably just use what ever I had, or was on clearance @ depo/lowes in a color i love. good luck, let us know how it goes!

  • what about using scrapbook paper? then you can switch it out if you want.. not sure if using paint on a cork board would work out well.
  • I used to work in a daycare and the cork boards were red in the hallway so I'd think they had painted them.

  • How big is the corkboard? I'd wrap them in fabric. I saw a couple pics on pinterest of this and it looked pretty good.

  • I have painted one before. It worked pretty good. I had to do a couple of extra coats, but it worked just fine. I used plain ol acrylic paint.
