Painting Ikea closet?

Question

If you have a closet system from Ikea - like Pax - can it be painted and if so how do I prep it?

Answer 1

if it is plastic system remove any oil base that is on it from the manufactor they use the oil to keep it from drying out and cracking. how you ask? use soap and warm water let dry and use a paint that says it will work on pvc polyvynalchloride or so. and i would use a spray can and do it with a mask on so not to breath any harmful chemicals. good luck

Answer 2

These days anything can be painted. Make sure you prep the surface first. Light sanding and a primer should ready you for whatever color you choose.
