Just trying to convince myself nothing can go wrong...
4 x 12mm MDF panels each about 1m x 2m to be rollered with emulsion. Thinking about a light coat to seal followed by two more to get even colour depth.Any reason why not?
Assuming they are indoors, it's fine.
And not in a bathroom, or where they may get wet.
I don't see a problem, assuming the exposed side is sealed.
Not as far as I can see, I've used emulsion on MDF loads of times with good results.
...... and the TV makeover shows do it all the times :-)

All done now and worked out fine. I was just a bit concerned about a large volume of water based paint absorbing too quickly into the surface and creating patches of rippled MDF.
... but they also hold up pelmets with blu-tac (or is that an urban myth), so anything they do is not necessarily a valid way. :o)
They also have plaster you can paint 20 mins after you apply it, MDF that doesn't split when you screw into the edge, saw benches without guards that are perfectly safe, jigsaws that cut perfectly straight lines 8' long, routers that you can use one handed etc.
Must be a different space time continium or something.
None at all. Biggest problem I have had with MDF is that it shrinks...after a while in central heating,..and you end up with cracks where tow sheets but together. Or a sheet buts a wall or ceiling.
Other than that it is a superb finish when painted with emulsion.
Even that is OK provided its not soaked.
It may be advisable on any showing edges to use a couple of coats of acrylic primer to seal the 'grain' sanded after coating each time..
Yes. You see them boxing in open flued boilers and such like. It's a miracle someone hasn't died yet.
