Have a look at this thread it may help

I was going to do it, and in the end found a black one to buy, which worked out better for me...

I painted mine with normal gloss paint. I found it very useful to be able to hose it down wipe it clean. Emulsion wouldn't be as good for that.
None of mine used to eat the wood though, if they had been chewers I may have decided to leave the wood unvarnished or painted.
If you wanted it coloured but not painted you could always wood stain it.

ohh nice thread thanks tethersend. I only want white so am thinking maybe gloss them (need to do 2). I want to paint them as I'm buying second hand cots and can't get any that are the same so am thinking paiting them would make them more uniform.
