Painting MDF Shapes

Options
Hello,


I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have purchased some MDF shapes which I plan to paint and decorate for family members for Christmas gifts.


Could you recommend the best way to do this and if I need to prep it in any way.


Thank you in advanced.


Helen

    Use an acrylic undercoat or primer first.

    Hiya,

    I can honestly say don't waste your money on acrylic paint!
    Use just normal test pot paints these are fantastic and cheap!

    Here is one of my own items painted 10492265_683054128437217_1017807258276150300_n.jpg?oh=358efa127589014e3892a31fa46e6b5a&oe=5615959A

    This was painted with tester pot paints and glitter glue :)
    Garden Designing available for the fraction of the costs!:D
