you'll have to 'seal' the MDF first or it will just soak in to the fibreboard. Use PVA glue, watered down and leave to dry. wont varnishing it jus leave that horrible colour tho?

You can put varnish straight onto MDF. I think the finish is better using pads rather than brushes but its personal taste.

You could try a bit of wood stain and see how it looks.....clear varnish after maybe.
