Thanks Matt. I hear MDF is a bear to finish so my works cut out. I have a lemmer airless but thats more for painting large scale stuff and the seals cant do lacquer. Fences, exteriors, ceilings etc. I was honestly thinking rattle cans might be the cheapest way to go. About $150 is what I would hope to spend on material for the paper, masking, stain, paint and clear coat. No idea if thats doable.
