I installed these on the back of a freestanding wardrobe I was using to divide a room. As someone noted above, you can cut them with a box-cutter or razor blade, but depending on which texture you get, can leave you with rough edges. The natural color is fine in my opinion, an off-white, but if you wanted to paint them I would use spray paint to get even coating. The tape on the back is definitely not strong enough, as they are well-made and relatively heavy. I had a lot of trouble with them falling off (made worse by the fact that much of the tape was attached to the fiberboard backing of the shelves) but they would probably go on very well with construction adhesive. That's obviously not a temporary solution, so I used 3M OUTDOOR mounting tape, and that has worked very well thus far.

On an other note, Inhabit often has a sale when they sell seconds of their wall flats for half price. I covered a roughly 8'x8' section for around $100. The seconds usually just have slightly dented corners or discoloration on the back. If you are not looking for a perfect (read semi-permanent) install, they are a great deal.
