Primed skirting boards - which paint?

[Lincolnshire Ian]

We have primed white MDF skirting boards and architrave throughout our new build. 

I don't enjoy painting - has anyone come across paint which will cover primed MDF in just one coat of white paint? 

Thanks

Wishful thinking I’m afraid.

 

Water based ‘gloss’ is very good, apply one coat AM, and another PM, and you’re pretty much done.

 

Are you painting before fitting, or are they all fitted already?

You need undercoat. Then a single coat of good gloss usually does the job. Paint before fitting. 10x easier.

Nothing will 

you need at least an undercoat and two top coats. 
I even use two undercoats and two top coats.

Have you fitted them yet? 

 

If not, spray them - I laid them all out in my garage, and gave them a coat of 2k Satin Epoxy in about 10 minutes per application. I have a compressor and HVLP guns, but you could beg or borrow one, or get a cheap setup. 

 

If installed... you might be out of luck!
