should i prime mdf before painting with emulsion
MDF sometimes comes pre-primed, but if yours isn't, then you should prime the surface before painting. You can use any type of water-based primer, such as an emulsion paint or an acrylic primer.This base-coat of primer will help give the top coat a truer shade and will prevent it from being affected by the color of the board. do painting of mdf all the time. Water based undercoat is fine but i prefer two coats. then i use eggshell, oil based finish once. that should always be enough.
