>>Be careful with the textured paint. It tends to crack and break off in 
chunks if not applied and taken care of correctly. I painted a primered metal 
panel with this stuff once and the paint eventually started to chip off. Just 
my experience.<<

I see that I'm not getting all the messages again.  I only got the above from 
Ken Ktacs' post.

There's different textured paint.  I sprayed some of the "Make It Stone" 
paint on pine, and it seems to adhere just about as well as regular spray 
paint.  I couldn't remove any by hand or fingernail.  Hitting it with a 
hammer didn't chip chunks off, as the paint doesn't become brittle when it 
dries.  It only left a little wood mark right where the hammer struck.  I 
didn't use the sealer spray that comes with it either.

But it may be a mute point.  I finally got around to asking Penn Fabrication 
for their pricelist and boy are their prices great.  They make every type of 
cabinet corner and handle known to man and also have black textured vinyl 
Tolex type cabinet covering.  I bought some of their cabinet parts at Mars 
Music, but straight Penn Fab, those same parts are from 1/2 to 1/5 the price 
I paid.  And their Tolex type covering is only $5.58 a yard compared to the 
$15-$20 for Tolex.  Since they have a $50 minimum order, I may need to buy 
some of their vinyl covering just to get over $50.

I may have mentioned this before, but Penn Fabrication is also the only place 
on the planet I was able to find black wood screws for mounting modules to 
wooden rails.

Paint tends to adhere much better to wood than to metal, though, even when
primed. That's why finished are "baked."  I'm not saying it wont work; just
do some tests first.
