OT: Does painted MDF count as 'wood'?

If it does... here's some cnc sculpture. Well..'sculpture' is a bit
lofty..how about 'sales aid'? Nope...what-the-hell is this thing? It's
a whiteboard for a restaurant lunch menus....Is that what they call
POP?

I forgot to mention that Zinzer Oil Base works better, but the drying
time is a PITA.

Robatoy, what are you using to seal the raw edges of MDF so they
will take paint evenly? I've had fair results with a wash coat of
poly, but it still takes several coats.

Zinzer WB. And in that application, almost all the entire image was
'exposed' MDF.
Two coats of Zinzer and a light scuff. Then the acrylic artist's paint
and a coat of FrogJuice.

Only if painted yellow or slathered with Mimwax polyshades.
