I've really got to thank you for making this video. I have to make some stop sign shaped signs for someone. 18 of them in fact. I have a CNC router that I make signs with and I have never ever had any luck at all with any type of painting on MDF. I was happy to see the results of your remake on the Killz primer being rolled on. That really looks nice. So now I know what to use on my project, and believe me I wan't looking forward to the painting part as I have, like I said, never had any luck at all paining MDF. Thanks again buddy, I really appreciate this video.

Thanks for the video. I will definitely try the Kilz 3 method. I've learned that with Rust-o-leum is that they mean when they say to apply additional coats within the first hour or else wait for 48. Otherwise, it causes a wrinkling in the paint and the only cure is to sand back to the wood and do it all over again. I've also used the R-O-L primer on wood and that works well, too, so long as you don't wait more than 1 hour to apply the color after. What an R-O-L operator told me was that I should also apply their clear coat within that first hour, too, after painting. But as you noted about how the paint doesn't quite layer right, who would want to finish that?! So, I strongly encourage anyone else watching this still, to wait the 48 hours dry time for the R-O-L paint before doing the final clear coat. You're the first one I've seen suggest using the Kilz, but I do like, from your video, the way it seemed much more "finished" compared to the other two methods. Thanks for doing this video.

Would have been nice to have seen the sanding sealer given the same TLC (roller application + sanding) as the Kilz primer for an accurate comparison

Auto filler primer works well. I've seen people use spackle on the edges then sanded.

@4:01 I'm really impressed the sanding sealer didn't go everywhere as fast as you stirred! LOL (sarcasm at its worst)

Hello, I just purchased a computer desk online, and it's made of MDF boards. Yet these boards have a wood patterned wallpaper on top of it. Can I still use an Acrylic sealer to seal this?

Is this water based paint or oil based ??

Could you use sanding sealer first then a coat of the kilz?

I have 60 doors and drawers in my kitchen that are MDF covered with Melamine. All of the Melamine is peeling.
