Theres no need to paint the melamine. The coating on it prevents humidity from warping it. Eventually your rack may start to bow in the middle if its too wide without support.
Also ive read somewhere melamine is fire retardent. Like it cannot catch on fire by itself. Im not positive on that though...
It burns lol.
I just never use it anywhere there might be water or moisture.
It's a personal choice I guess
