How to paint MDF facia panels?

You can follow the following steps to paint MDF:

• Your MDF's edges should be covered with drywall compound, and then left to cure.

• Sand it with 200-grit sandpaper to make the surface of your MDF smooth.

• Remove any remaining dust by wiping it with a wet cloth.

• The MDF should be primed with 1-3 coats of solvent-based primer. Sand gently in between layers as they dry.

• Use a roller or paintbrush to apply lacquer or oil-based paint on the MDF.

• Wax, polyurethane, or lacquer sealer might be used to protect the paint finish.
