painting melamine need advice please

[lockrookie]

i have had a 20g tank on this stand for.. 3 years as a fw tank stand. its only use will be to hold corals/fish for putting in to my 50 when itis finished. prestocking in a way.. so when the tank is fully cycled i can add my stowed away prizes when the time is right. then a qt tank for future inhabitants of both my 90 and 50.

do i neeeed to paint the stand... no not really im just wasting time being creative...mostly keeping myself busy so i dont go crazy due to work being slow with my company. i hate just sitting staring at my phone like a pbs donation drive thinking ring those phones ring those phones.
