Magnificent job and well done for an interesting and informative video. You're obviously a LOT more professional than many others posting on the subject of painting MDF.
by far the best spraying video I've seen so far. High gloss is the most difficult to spray so all this information applies to any other finish as well and you will have near perfect result. Very good job. Love the attention to detail
Watched this as 1st video of your channel. instant sub. This is cadillac work, techniques apply across a broad range of job types, thank you for posting. Grateful algo found your site.
Love this video on painting MDF . Iam doing speakers boxes want high Gloss what kind of paint to used I looking for hard and a deep high Gloss they will be my be around a bit I here that a auto paint 🎨 s the best ????
HI, I just buy a new high gloss cabinet kitchen, but the guys that intall it use acetone to give it a finish clean to all, now like 3 of the cabines you can see the trayectory of the wipe they used, then it was imposible to erase all those marks,it's very frustrating, do you have a advise how to clean those wipes trayectories ? Valerie
The kitchen cabinets in mt place are MDF, and also unfathomably glossy!I've always wondered if they were done by man or machine. I at least now know man is capable of doin it!! haha Blood amazing job mate, that finished reflection was like a mirror! Even with my love of matte & satin, I'd have that finish! Keep up the craftsman quality! 👍🏼
Tristan Chase yo yo! Thank you mate means a lot 😋 Yeah I love 10/25 more than anything Gloss can de moralise you though. You really have to be on the ball with it!
This is fantastic can’t wait to try this on a bathroom cabinet I’d like to make. Could you possibly provide in the video description the different products used also I can go buy the same. Thanks
i'm thinking of finishing an MDF speaker cabinet with this method. What is the first step to prep the MDF? Should i fill any gaps etc? if so, what do you use to fill? sand after filling?
Can you give me a list of products you used. Iv bought some high gloss doors but different colours so need to respray them and do I need a top coat or just a light sand as already high gloss finish thanks for your help
Hi That's a great Video with full detail.. yes I have a question do you use regular high gloss water base or is it paint with high gloss. And what is the name of the high gloss
Hi, thanks4thisvideo. I have primered my cupboards but still need to sprsy with 2k whute and 2k clear. Ive been told differrnt things aboit waiting and sanding times. So im confused. I have been told that u need to spray the clear 2k over tge whute base colour while its still wet like within an hour but was also told u can spray the base and wait 7 days then spray the clear. U have advuce for me plz when to spra the clear. Also can i sand the 2k clear after applying it as u have done here after the firat layer say after half hour? Plz advise thank u
The only guide on youtube where the MDF comes out like glass. All the others come out with wayy to much orange peel. Going to paint a subwoofer box like this. Thanks
my dressing table is made of the same thing but I want to paint it black what do I do, should I sand down the gloss then paint over it or can I just paint over it ?
I seen this video about a year ago, and knew I should have saved it. I have been searching for about two weeks for it. I have talked to the Home Depot people and lowes , and I haven’t been satisfied with their understanding of my description of this process they just gave me the primer and gloss white paint said sand it. I knew there was a lot more to what I am actually wanting. Do you have a step by step, and what paint, kind : brand / and how you mix your thinner the ratio, and what psi setting you have your gun at ? Also, the grades of the paper and discs and what finish steps you are doing.
Hi Robert, thank you for your great and detailed video. Im a very beginner painter however I working on a project and want to achieve a black piano finish. My question is, can I use oil based paint on Mdf or you highly recommend lacquer paint ? Thank you!
Im here in Canada. Instead of using 2k catalyst, would a conversion varnish do the trick? Don't know too much about 2k over here and hoping you can shed some light. Great video. Thanks
good work .I have one question.What is your paint brand ,If i polish the edges it goes deep and damages it with a black line.I have tried more gently it is the same.What i blamed was the 45 degree router bit on the edges,but as I see yours is 45 degree too.Maybe round bit will work better.so we can polish the edges better
As I spray and polish the door myself I know how much paint I put on. You really don’t wanna lean into the edge too much. Just have the polishing head hanging over the edge a touch. I use sherwin Williams (AC LACQUER) PU would be ideal for quicker drying times. Before polishing make sure you’re not going to heavy with 1500g just sanding enough to get door flat. Same situation with wet sand too.
@@gsigeneral thank you brother, Im a fan of your channel from now on.You really are a pro.Unfortunately there is no distribution of Shervin W. in my country,I use ICA coatings italian, and its a hard PU to polish.Have you tried any other brand 2k poly that you were satisfied with ?
Sand with 320. Then 2 coats of primer with sanding in btwn. Once no holes or pitting, you're good to go. Always remember, your topcoat will always reflect/show the work done to the coat below.
Great finish Actually I have tried on mdf panel But still waviness is there can you please tell me what product you have used and what process you have done
Love the video it’s great to see your work and very informative. I was a little confused with the paint your using and the mixes. Are you using a ac lacquer that has already been pigment and then thinning it down. Or are you mixing it with a base colour yourself?
Indeed look very lovely glossy, thank you for sharing your knowledge and you're skilled. I would like if you know seam paint like a glossy paint that can be just sprayed with a kind of high glossy resulted no such as the one that you show us super high gloss like a mirror but at least a reasonable gloss. thank you very much
Quality content! Were the edges just sealed with the primer? Did they stay as just a gun finish or did you go through the same 1500|2000|compound steps on those too?
That’s fantastic! I know the finish looks ace but does it wear hard from everyday use? I thought I was ok with my Tikki products but this is in a different league! I hate using solvent but I might have to go back to it! Thanks for showing the vid, really informative and well done!
Yo! Ac once fully cured after a month is durable. Especially after machine polishing. With low sheens you don’t want to rub finish to hard because you can 'shine up the finish' but I’m sure this can happen with PU and other paints.

Masterful craftmanship.
Thank you!
So, no sanding down the color coat before the clear? ..Or does orange peel only matter when finishing out the clear.?
i'm thinking of finishing an MDF speaker cabinet with this method. What is the first step to prep the MDF? Should i fill any gaps etc? if so, what do you use to fill? sand after filling?
Can you give me a list of products you used. Iv bought some high gloss doors but different colours so need to respray them and do I need a top coat or just a light sand as already high gloss finish thanks for your help
Very nice.. would this work on a raised panel door like a shaker, Just wondering how I would do the corners? Would it be by hand with sanding blocks?
Hi That's a great Video with full detail.. yes I have a question do you use regular high gloss water base or is it paint with high gloss. And what is the name of the high gloss
Really well explained and demonstrated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.Cheers, Rob.
Cheers mate my pleasure
Yes gloss takes time is hard to spray flat high gloss but can be done also
Great job and great video.

Cheers
Thank you very much for sharing this information! What nozzle size do you recommend 1.3 or 1.4?
1.4 is a nice size tip for top coat. 1.8 for primer
Quality work and a really helpful video 🙏🏻👌👍

If still interested I can help my friend.
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Excellent work, well explained.
Thanks mate
What are the doors for? They look great!
johno 1978 a kitchen 😬
Thank you!
What kind of paint did you spray, a 2k auto paint?
where do you buy the gloss mdf wood
Nice work, as usual :) But sir, could i get this result with airmix ?
Ive just made some cupboard doors for my daughters bedroom, can i get a quote on how much it will cost to get coated in gloss white
That is an amazing video !!! How much hours per kitchen on average does it take ?
Thanks mate. 45mins/ hour a door
Awesome job!!! Do you ever use Hollandlac?
No mate I like my 2k products 😊👊🏻
Hi Robert, thank you for your great and detailed video.
Im a very beginner painter however I working on a project and want to achieve a black piano finish. My question is, can I use oil based paint on Mdf or you highly recommend lacquer paint ? Thank you!
Where are you located I would love to makeover my dressing table in high gloss
Im here in Canada. Instead of using 2k catalyst, would a conversion varnish do the trick? Don't know too much about 2k over here and hoping you can shed some light. Great video. Thanks
Yes you can. A post-catalyzed lacquer/ conversion varnish can be purchased in 90°sheen then polished ;)
So will that be good enough for kitchen cabinets, even if water runs down on it, is it gonna be 100% waterproof, no swelling of the MDF?
It is 100% waterproof. See this finish as it has been wrapped in plastic 👌🏻
Hi love your work can you send me a link for the spray paint your using many thx
spray back of door?
If u listed the items u were used it will be better
does mirka sop fade or discolor with time
really nice video job well done
That’s a fucking good show
I’m well impressed with that finish mate. Pat your self on the back.
Cheers mate 😋👍🏻👍🏻

Great job. What sander and dust collection are you using in the video?
Mirka ceros Sander and Mirka hoover!
👊🏻
I have high gloss mdf doors can you paint over them plesde
Great video 💪🏽👌🏾
How do you prep the MDF edges????
Sand with 320. Then 2 coats of primer with sanding in btwn. Once no holes or pitting, you're good to go. Always remember, your topcoat will always reflect/show the work done to the coat below.
Great finish
Actually I have tried on mdf panel
But still waviness is there can you please tell me what product you have used and what process you have done
Hi all products used are mentioned in upload. There will always be some possible wave. MDF isn’t perfectly flat on raw state
Perfect!
Love the video it’s great to see your work and very informative. I was a little confused with the paint your using and the mixes. Are you using a ac lacquer that has already been pigment and then thinning it down. Or are you mixing it with a base colour yourself?
Hello mate the ac has pigment in it 90sheen!
Amazing finish... wish u were close to me!!
Cheers mate 😬
Indeed look very lovely glossy, thank you for sharing your knowledge and you're skilled.
I would like if you know seam paint like a glossy paint that can be just sprayed with a kind of high glossy resulted no such as the one that you show us super high gloss like a mirror but at least a reasonable gloss.
thank you very much
Yes. Highgloss polyurethane can be sprayed and will look very shiny right after it dries. No need to buff and polish
Hi, i have a table with gloss finish, at corners i got some chips , deep, how can i fix it ? is it even possible to fix it
Is that a car polish or wood polish or does it matter ?
Car/wood all the same mate
Wonderful
Quality content! Were the edges just sealed with the primer? Did they stay as just a gun finish or did you go through the same 1500|2000|compound steps on those too?
Edges was out the gun. Too pussy to flat polish them with this product of paint. With better quality paint I may dabble
And thanks brother! ♥️
That’s fantastic! I know the finish looks ace but does it wear hard from everyday use? I thought I was ok with my Tikki products but this is in a different league! I hate using solvent but I might have to go back to it!

Yo! Ac once fully cured after a month is durable. Especially after machine polishing. With low sheens you don’t want to rub finish to hard because you can 'shine up the finish' but I’m sure this can happen with PU and other paints.
Do you start with a wood board?
MDF👊🏻
What's a "search coat"?
You use a black dust. This emphasises issues. Sand untill the dust is gone.
what the paint water. or oil
Solvent
anybody know where can I learn majority of painting?
