i had good luck recently with sanding and painting a 20 dollar abomination of an 'entertainment' unit... i had my brother help me, as he's an artist with a knack for spray paint. he lightly sanded the fake-wood surface just enough to create some traction for the paint (with a fine-grain sandpaper), and spray painted it with a paint that boasts 'adheres to plastic' (since you're not dealing with real wood) with two or three coats. it actually looks really great.

whether he was good or bad, talented or overrated, sober or drug-dependent-- he was a fascinating individual simply because he operated further outside the boundaries of normal social conduct than possibly anyone else (of notoriety) on earth, and a glimpse inside his decadent, mysterious, bizarre, extravagant money-pit of a vacation home seems relevant to folks with an interest in not only mj but interior design.
