I have made another blanket chest similar to this however with a flatter design on a mdf top.
This lid although nice was painted with a yellow primer base then a (?)color stain. I wanted it to turn out like the plywood box. It was more of a flat color because it was mdf. What is the advisability of using a gel stain on mdf? I've used it on wood and it looks great just not on mdf.
I was thinking that the lid should be a very brighter contrasting color (in a wood shade) but have no idea what color or shade to use, or how to produce that shade. So be as detailed as possible about color, shade, brand name and how to apply as possible on mdf. thanks

Maybe something in this shade or lighter? (James McGrews work)
