    Folks
    I have a compressor and spraying kit, and was wondering is there much effort to spraying primed MDF with a cream colour?. Any thoughts or advice?

    Effort? That is what paint sprayers are designed to eliminate :D.
    Some people prefer to see paint brushed on - cannot understand this for the life of me. You use less paint, get a more even coating & it dries more quickly with a sprayer.
    If you have not used one before, fill the can with water and practice. Adjust the nozzles to see how the spray pattern and flow rate might suit you. And keep the sprayer nozzle squeaky clean.
    It is not a difficult thing to get the hang of.

    its pretty straight forward try a waste piece until u get it right. some edges need a little sanding before and after being primed. use the right paints for spraying and make sure u wear a proper mask and work in a well ventilated area
