Im at the painting stage of my cab and have my MDF primer at hand. However for the paint I bought a black satin finish - however I would ideally like some texture, maybe a hammered finish. Many people on this board mentioned they rolled on Hammerite hammered finish paint on their MDF however can someone confirm that this actually works, as Hammerite is a paint for METAL. |

Yes it will work, as long as you have primed properly to seal the MDF. FWIW I have used aerosol Hammerite smooth on MDF (among other things) and the finish is surprisingly good. |

Whats the avantages of using hammerite smooth? for strength? theres no texture right? Also, could this work: 1st couple coats with satin black last coat with hammerite textured in aerosol? Or should I just scrap my satin paint and go hammerite all the way? |

I would lightly sand between coats, particularly before applying the hammerite to give it a nice surface to adhere to. |
