I have some raw MDF shelving that I'd like to paint. The shelving might be

is durable and won't bubble up when oil is spilled on it.

What would be the best paint to use?

Thx!

I use the following product to paint MDF that I use for shop
shelving / cabinets

Rustoleum High Performance Industrial DTM Epoxy Mastic

http://www.rustoleum.com/tds/9100%20...51_2032990.pdf

They call it mastic but its really a two part epoxy paint / activator
paint system.

It goes on pretty thick; two coats needed to develop suggested film
thickness

I have used it to make waterproof (temporarily) containers.

The stuff isn't cheap (~$80/gallon) but its bullet proof......not
recommended for longterm direct sun exposure (outside)

The stuff I've painted hasn't needed re-coat in 10 years +

cheers
