I am making a platform bed out of MDF. Is there any problem painting the MDF with a brush? I planned to use a primer and then a final coat. Any tips or info?
Only problem that I have found is that the MDF primer (necessary evil) seems a bit on the thick side. Other than that no real problems other than I hate painting
You don't necessarily need to use MDF primer. On the face of the boards you can use undercoat or emulsion as an undercoat (these will give a better final finish than just using a primer as they will be smoother when sanded) and then paint just about anything over the top. On the edges, you need to sand them as smooth as you can and then you can use watered down emulsion as a 1st coat, sand down again and use a 2nd coat of neat emulsion and sand down.
