a quick question...

a friend at work want to paint on a maicrowave cart. now this microwave cart is chipbaord covered in that white stuff (i hope you all know what i'm talking about). she asked me if she could paint them with acrylics, but i don't think it'll stay on. has anyone tried painting on this type of stuff? does anyone have any suggestions? she's trying to do it quite cheaply. thanks in advance!
