Painting buildings

[ted1983]

I am in the process of building some buildings using mdf and some parts will be corrugated card. I wanted to know what type of paint works best for the card and also the mdf. Any tips welcome!!!!

They will be played with so need to be hard wearing as well!

Thanks!

I'm a painter and decorator,so for the mdf,prime it first with Mdf primer,or prime it with thinned down emulsion paint,also same for the card,emulsion paint,you can get tester pots in any colour you want,saves having to buy big tins of paint,hope this helps

I use poster paints for any card I use, gives a nice matt finish  and allows rust coats etc to get added to it as well
