Painting MDF

Yes, MDF is suitable for painting.

You can express your creativity in creating your perfect decor by painting the MDF sign.

Depending on the finish you want, there are a few options:

  • You can find various coloured spray paints with primer already in them This would be the simplest option: just spray the sign with a minimum of 2 coats.
  • For a high-end finish, the ideal would be to give your sign a light sand and then prime the item before applying paint.
  • Apply at least 2 coats of paint.
  • Many of our customers are very excited about the result. They send us photos with the painted sign, some of them in multiple colours showing some real DIY skills.

Previews of designs

We don’t do previews of design for products. This would complicate the design and manufacturing process too much, will add more time with back and forward communication and extra costs, which we try to avoid.

Mistakes or damaged product

We are very careful with our work, with quality and accuracy, but mistakes can happen. If your item has a spelling mistake made by us or is a different size to what you ordered, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to solve the problem by making another product and sending it to you immediately.

If the mistake is yours, you need to order another item (refund not available) and we will try to make it A.S.A.P so you can have it for your event (if there is enough time).
