Hi i have had some pipe work boxed in around the top of the kitchen walls the boxing has been done with MDF, my question is please does anyone no if before i paint it with matt paint, do i need to use a primer or undercoat first.....Some say i need to get special mdf paint but i was wondering if this matters or can i use something else.The MDF has like a smooth surface on front, any hep on painting this would be great.I will be useing matt emulsion so it matches the colour of the walls also....Just someone said if i dont use mdn primer it will peal off...thanks for your help in advance
Yes, emulsion on bare timber and MDF doesn't give any problems usually......... but, use a proper MDF primer if you intend to go with undercoat and gloss or similar.
