I am looking for a 3 wheel motorcycle ( trike) line drawing. The one I drew last year won't work.

Any advice on painting MDF.Last year I sanded,stain kill, than Lowes spray paint. The paint and primer didn't adhere good. I am thinking about automotive paint

Thanks in Advance,

Sal

I'd 'prime' the MDF with gesso. Then spray paint.
Brush on the gesso, dry and then sand. Gives you a good
smooth base for the paint. Might do 2-3 coats of gesso
though. Art supply stores have it

After you paint it, you can engrave the paint off.
Makes in interesting scratch board image, especially
if you use any sort of sketch effects

Thanks Chuck, I am checking on Gesso now. Is this a primer filler?

it is a canvas primer. Artists use it on new canvas to get it
ready to accept paint.
