There are two ways you can paint MDF: OPTION 1 - the complete process Apply an MDF Primer Sand lightly Vacuum the dust up and wipe down with a rag dipped in white spirit, to degrease the surface Apply a very thin layer of wood filler to the edges, and sand down Apply an Undercoat Appy a Top Coat Whilst the best approach to ensure a really decent finish, this is going to take a very long time - something most of us don't have, so I have always taken a slightly simpler approach to painting MDF: OPTION 2 - the way I PAINT MDF! Apply a quick dry wood primer undercoat Sand the edges to smooth out the end grain Apply a second coat to the edges (not essential) Apply two coats of Satin/ Gloss, again, lightly sanding the edges between each coat For a great resource on painting MDF, and more generally, take a look at DIY Doctor http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/... In Today's Toolkit: Sand paper (120 grade or finer) and sanding/ wood block Face mask I use this one https://goo.gl/UwdfHD £12.99/ $16.14 although there are cheaper ones on the market If you are going to use an MDF primer you should find these in all major hardware / DIY stores. Examples include https://goo.gl/N0BBvn from Screwfix (£10.80/ $13.48 per litre) https://goo.gl/Wf4OkP Amazon (£14.50/ $18.10 for 750ml) Quick dry primer undercoat - there are so many different brands on the market. They all do a similar job, although I usually use Johnstone's Joncryl Acrylic Primer Undercoat. In today's video I use ARMSTEAD Wood Primer Undercoat https://goo.gl/XqtrM1 (£10.28/£12.83 per litre) Mini roller with mohair roller sleeve (you can use a larger roller if you're painting larger areas Paint brush for painting in hard to reach areas, and the edges Johnstone's water based Satin top coat - purchased from my local Johnstone's Decorators Centre SUBSCRIBE - you can subscribe to my Channel here:    / charliediyite   LET'S CONNECT!
