Finishes for MDF

[bigroncorbett]

I have made a unit out of water resistant MDF for my bathroom sink to recess in and hide the toilet cistern. I'm putting together a matching wall unit above the toilet that has two doors as does under the sink.
The top surface is tiled but I want to get a nice finish on the front and doors which at the moment are plain unpainted MDF.
What I would like is some sort of high gloss, hard wearing finish but have no idea how to get there.
Can anyone assist???

You could laminate it. I don't know what products are available over there, but there is general info here:-http://www.laminex.com.au/frame_faq.asp

You could also paint it and final coat it with gloss clear, or if you have access to the equipment you could use two pack clear to finish it.
