It seems like a bad idea to me. Is there a way I can tell? like feel the walls after a shower is taken to see if they're wet? or is it just a bad idea all around? i think they used enamel on those so the FRONT of it should be okay Unfortunately,Sir,they are usually printed (and painted) on BOARD the BOARD is exposed to shower condensation,etc. It may not deteriorate the painting BUT it will warp and that's just as bad.... Good Luck in your search for a solution,Hanford!
