Hackers Help: Can the BRIMNES daybed be painted?

Has anyone painted the BRIMNES daybed or changed the handles?

Saw the post about changing a BRIMNES dresser to leather handles which looked good.

Asked Ikea about painting the bed and they advised against painting any of their products!

Diane,

It can be painted. Take a look at this! And yes, the leather handles are awesome. Let us know how it goes.
