Its problably reacting with chemicals that are compressed in the mdf that becomes active when wet with paint, try a light coat of resin or automotive paint sealer first let dry properly and try to paint again. Good luck.

i have had this problem in the past too. there is a chemical in the mdf that the paint reacts to. try coating the area to be painted with a small amount of resin, then lightly sand it smooth. the end result will be alot better and the paint will have more depth and shine.

You should use urathane primer with urathane paint, just my two cents! Oil based first then urathane may react.
