MDF paint process?

tkuper05:

Is there anything wrong with this paint process?

I will be painting 5/8 MDF.

CJK:

Sounds good. Obviously, make sure the paint and primer are compatible, but other than that, no worries.

I thought mixing oil and water based paints was bad...   :(
I really don't know though... That would be my first inclination.

I think you can do latex on oil primer but not oil-based paint on latex primer....not sure though.

Havok:

You can apply latex over oil, but not the other way around. Latex needs to "breathe" and oil doesn't - it dries harder.  Oil takes much longer to dry, just make sure it is completely dry before sanding\applying the next coat.
