MDF is sometimes pre-primed, but if yours isn't, you'll need to prime the surface before painting. Water-based primers, such as emulsion paint or a proprietary acrylic primer, can be used.

Moreover, paint or emulsion adheres to primer better than it does to the bare wood surface. In addition to providing a uniform surface, undercoating woodwork may help preserve it and prevent strong or underlying colors from showing through to the topcoat.

As a basic guideline, two coats of Emulsion paint are necessary, with the woodwork primed and undercoated first, followed by two coats of emulsion on the walls, and then a cautious top coat around the woodwork.

Yes, you can; but, using white initially will save you a little money on materials. However, in most cases, a specific wall primer is not required over solid previously emulsion-painted walls.

Slowly pour in water and properly mix the materials of the distemper paste. Typically, 500-600 mL of water is needed for 1 kilogram of distemper. Apply 2-3 applications using a brush, roller, or spray, allowing 4-6 hours between applications.

Distemper is easily identified. It feels soft and dusty to the touch and will transfer to your hands from the surface of the walls. The disadvantage of this surface treatment is that nothing will stick to it, which is a huge issue when redecorating with wallpaper or paint.

Distemper has historically been a popular interior paint for homes. In reality, it has been used for painting walls and other sorts of house decorating since antiquity. It can be readily marked, but it cannot be wet. Because it is not waterproof, it has almost exclusively been applied to interior surfaces.

Painting walls using distemper paints is easier and faster since they can be applied directly to cement walls without the use of a primer. Despite being affordable and requiring little surface preparation before application, distemper paints have a relatively long life span.

Distemper is a kind of whitewash that appears early in the life cycle. It is easily marked as decorative paint and cannot be wet. It has been used for painting walls and other sorts of house décor since antiquity. Because it is not waterproof, it is often used on interior surfaces.
