Painting Question
danny_galaga:
i've used acrylic (which is water based) on mdf no probs. and 'bondo', that is polyester body filler is really good especially on counter sunk screws
PiNPOiNT:
Ok i spoke to a buddy at work who said that its perfect fine to just paint over the bad areas with primer again if the paint isnt covered the dark wood colour well enough
then just continue with the painting again, and the colours should match up after a few more coats

Just like to chime in on the bondo discussion.
I made a big booboo and drilled the 1 1/8" holes for my pinball buttons a tad off (the joystick switches were hitting on the left side)
Anyhoo, filled it with bondo, sanded it down, put 1 coat of black latex paint on, and you cant see a thing!

A helpful note for painting dark colors that noone ever seems to do.
Have your primer TINTED to at least come CLOSE to matching your paint. You can have home depot tint the primer, or you can just add some of your paint into the primer and mix it so it's at least SOMEWHAT darker.
Nothing worse than using white primer to paint something black.
