Ironing with a brush seems like the best option. You don't mention what's in the MDF though. Maybe you'll need to sand between coats.
Sorry, planning to make a couple of windowsills and maybe a couple of wardrobe doors. Is it possible to get a completely smooth surface if I roll? However, I would like to try spray painting but then I want to use the right equipment, so some tips would be nice. Which is best when cutting MDF (best result) circular saw or jigsaw? Other tips when it comes to working with MDF are welcome... thanks!
Definitely a circular saw. MDF is one of the easiest materials to work with. But if you want to be satisfied with the painting results, I would recommend leaving the finished pieces at a paint shop.
Another tip is that, for a reasonable fee, you can have the pieces cut to the right dimensions at the lumber yard. Then you can mill or bevel edges, etc., as you like.
If you choose to cut the pieces yourself, I recommend Festool's plunge saw with the accompanying rail. Well worth its money if you intend to use it for multiple projects. An unbeatable tool in the box.
Good luck.

My experience:anra said:
- oil paint gives a better/more even surface than water-based
- rolling is completely okay... and probably necessary if it's larger surfaces. But if you have the opportunity to spray paint easily, then it's probably best and fastest!
Both Dewalt and Makita are good professional brands. I have never tried either. But I would probably dare to recommend both based on their past merits.
As I said, I would never trade my Festool. But I use it daily in my profession.
