Hey everyone.  Ive been reading the boards for awhile and have hit my first problem.

Im building a UAII cab with MDF.  I've got everything assembled and am finishing the paint job.  I primed with an oil based primer, and have put a few coats of latex black paint on top.  The paint doesnt seem to be sticking really well.  A fingernail across it will remove the black paint leaving white primer.

Looking back I wish I had used an oil based finish, even though Ive read here and on the primer instructions that a latex should be fine.  Is there anything I can do now?

i never use oil based paints...just too nasty to deal with and hard to clean up.  Also makes it a pita if you have to strip and start over

Hoagie, how exactly does it turn into a wrap sandwich?

Hoagie_one:
um....magical trevor?

Of course if I had to do it over agian, I would go water based, but I read on this board somewhere that people said not to use water based primer on MDF.  I have ince read that i not a problem.
