Can you wallpaper over pegboard?

Keeping this in view, can you stain pegboard?

Most any pegboard I've seen is 1/8" or 1/4" tempered hardboard ('masonite') with holes which would not allow any penetration of a stain. Non-tempered might allow some penetration, but because of the brown color will only darken.

One may also ask, can you paint a pegboard? If you opted for spray paint, then simply spray the paint on the pegboard. Spray painting is the preferred method of painting because it does not clog the holes in the pegboard. If you chose to use some semi-gloss oil-based paint, then apply a thin coat of the paint using a short-nap roller (¼-inch).

How far off the wall does pegboard need to be?

Your pegboard should have about ½ inch (1.27 cm) of space behind it so that you can install hooks. If you get a ready-made pegboard with a frame, that space should be built in. Otherwise, you'll need to create that space by building a frame or adding screw-in standoffs with spacers.
