If you have ever had any involvement whatsoever within a DIY project, chances are at some point you are going to come across MDF (or medium density fibreboard). The highly versatile and cost effective material is useful more many home builds. In this post we examine how to paint MDF.
One of the main issues with trying to paint MDF is that you will often find the paint you are using will set dry extremely quickly. It can therefore often be the case that the end result of your diy project is nothing more than a very poor, uneven finish. There are however available specially made primers that can be bought. These are used as a kind of undercoat for the MDF, onto which a secondary layer of paint can then later be added to create the desired colour and finish. The MDF primer acts as a form of sealant on the board, a process which involves sealing the timber from which the board is made and thereby allowing the second coat of paint to dry more naturally and evenly.
