    Once you have applied a primer and sealed the MDF you can use any paint you like. However, it is best to avoid emulsion. If you want a strong durable finish, add a layer of undercoat and finish with eggshell, satinwood, or gloss, depending on what type of finish you want.

    We recommend using acrylic latex paint for optimal efficiency and results. Remember to factor in the finish, too—either matt, satin, or gloss. Apply a thin, even coat with the applicator of your choosing (brush or roll-on). Wait for the paint to dry (check the “in-between coats” drying time on the tin). Apply a second coat.
