If the wall is clean and well prepared, chalkboard paint can be applied directly to it. Primer undercoat is the best way to ensure that chalkboard paint adheres well to the MDF first. Using a foam roller, apply the chalkboard paint to the board.

Do I Need to Apply a Primer Before Painting MDF? Yes. While MDF is versatile and easy to work with, it doesn't like moisture. If any gets into the wood it can swell and warp.
With its porous surface and flaky edges, MDF may not seem like a good candidate for a successful paint job. It's true that paint applied directly to MDF can cause the surface to become swollen and distorted. Edges siphon up paint, no matter how much paint you apply.
For a smooth finish, you need to sand the edges of MDF down, but first, lightly sand the surface. A lightly sanded surface will give the MDF board a 'key' that the paint can cling to. Then wipe away any dust with a soft cloth. I would avoid wetting the cloth as MDF sucks up water, which causes swelling.
