How to paint MDF window sills?

Emmzee

Hi,

We've recently replaced our window sills to MDF and I'm looking to get some guidance for preparing the surfaces. The side edges of the MDF are a bit rougher than the face surface so want to make sure I prepare them properly so the surfaces are uniform before I paint them. Any help would be great on steps and best products to use? Thanks!

Hi @Emmzee,

You might like to fill and then sand the ends of the MDF to reduce their roughness. That will ensure a consistent finish. Next, apply a quality undercoat like Dulux 1-step. After it has dried, you can move on to your topcoat. For a superior finish, use a quality brush or a short nap roller.

Here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to paint window frames.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
