^^^^ fiberglass it a lot more work but it is cleaner

Or 5 coats of pimer and 5 coats of paint will do fine

if u coat the outside wit resin, sand, one more coat and then paint u have a very smooth base for paint and none gets absorbed into the wood

alrite guys....i was wondering, is there a brush or roll on paint that would be ok to use for mdf? i've used spray before and to me it seems harder to use, i know there has to be a brush on paint that i could use for this...im just not sure what it is?

^^ exactly, thin coat or 2 of resin, sand smooth, then paint

I usually dont do that, I usually just rhino line it, then paint the rhino line whatever color needed, THEN clear coat it

I have seen Jon (epicenterdesigns) use both methods, and I think the slicksand workd out the best. 1 thick coat of fillerprimer, maybe 2 and you are good to go for paint. he just made a beer pong table for our cruise in and he sprayed slick sand and paint, and it turned our awesome. hopefully he will post pics tomorrow.
