MDF can be painted with scuff sanding and a good primer first.

I have the brown almost wood grain textured Billy bookcases and wanted to try painting them. Have you had any success paining this kind of item? Does it look good? Or is it better to replace them with the white smooth bookcases?

As long as you use a really good primer it shouldn’t matter what color you start with. This one is my preference https://www.amazon.ca/Adhesion-High-Bonding-Interior-Exterior-Primer/dp/B00J9Q58VC?crid=FOTUM19OKQDV&keywords=bonding+primer&qid=1659912989&s=hi&sprefix=bonding+primer,tools,162&sr=1-7&linkCode=sl1&tag=thediymommy-20&linkId=e05f919c3ddf4158510c5620e604c061&language=en_CA&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Painting the inside is a matter of preference. You can paint or even wallpaper the inside.

Thank you! The paint is Observatory by BEHR. You can read more about it here: https://thediymommy.com/modern-coastal-bathroom-renovation-on-a-budget-our-little-lake-house/

I have been sticking to fusion mineral paints but Behr is much more affordable. Thanks for the advice, and the dresser is wonderful.
