DIY Panelling Advice Needed

Novice at DIY and painting. Starting a panelling project and done some research but unsure if the order I am planning to do this is correct. Also if the products are suitable and good quality. Don't want to use anything solvent based. Any advice appreciated. This is my plan:

1. Attach panels with no nails original grab adhesive
2. Sand and clean panels of dust
3. Seal with 123 zinsser bullseye - assuming I only apply this to mdf, not also the wall between the panels, but would the end finish not look different?
4. Fill gaps with Bonda Wood Fill and seal around edges with Soudall Decorators caulk
6. Sand with 220 grit
7. Dulux trade quick dry wood primer undercoat
8. Sand with 120 grit
9. Redo any wood fill if needed then spot prime once dry, then sand again once dry
10. Dulux trade eggshell (cut in edges with paintbrush and then roller?)
11. Dulux trade eggshell 2nd coat as above
 
I'd use CT1 or Stixall not no nails. Just better.
They bonda is a 2 pack resin? Not one I'm familiar with

2 coats of primer undercoat will give you a better finish
