Battons same as walls imo.
Aside, consider sticking on a strip of softwood thats deeper than the mdf on the front edge , otherwise it might sag if you're putting any kind of weight on it. More resistant to being dented too.

I can't recall off the top of my head what size mdf I used, but I used saginator. As there a going to be 5 half shelves and one whole one, it might be a bit difficult to put an edge on and keep a consistent look.
The whole thing has taken forever, and I still have no idea when I'll be able to drill the battons into the wall as I can make that much noise in that location in the evenings, and then I take over the childcare to give my OH a break on weekends. Although I think the project may have dragged so long that Mrs Hugo7 is probably willing to look after Hugo7 Jnr for long enough for me to do the drilling.

Back to painting the mdf shelves in the cupboard.
Do you paint the support batons with the same paint as the wall, or as the shelves?
Cheers.
(Its a store cupboard with a door, that I want to look utilitarian, but neat and well build. The shelves are MDF as are the support batons)
