I have created some bookshelves from corrugated cardboard. These are very strong, but they still do flex a bit. I did some tests using Rust-Oleum brand spray paint. Because the cardboard is flexible, bits of the paint came off. I am concerned that the paint will come off onto the books.
What would be a good paint to add to corrugated cardboard that will not flake off?
Best Answer
Spray paint is normally lacquer and is made for more durable surfaces that won't flex. Like appliance paint.
Latex paint is more flexible and rubbery. Hence the name.
Use a good primer first to seal the cardboard.
Good luck!
