    Hi,

    I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for paint suitable for a filing cabinet.

    I have a really ugly brown cabinet that could do with a new lease of life, but I'm not sure about types of paint suitable for this type of metal. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Tell us how you find the result. I would have thought a spray would be the way to go.

    Yes - I work in a shared office, so finding somewhere to spray the cabinet is a problem. Plus, I think spray paint is stronger smelling than regular paint, but I could be wrong about this.
