Painting my kitchen exposed parts (including ceiling)

[David Smithz]

Ok my friends etc. have let me down, so it looks like I'm on my own
decorating my kitchen tomorrow.

After a newly replastered ceiling and complete kitchen fitting, I need to
1) Paint the ceiling.
2) Paint the mdf bits of wood that are boxing in pipe work.
3) Paint the walls that are still left - currently a bit dirty from previous
owner.

I need to consider I have to cover up all my nicely newly fitted kitchen and
floor so it does not get ruined so I will get some B&Q plastic sheet sets
and use cardboard all over the floor.

So what sort of paints do I need for what? As it is a fresh coat of ceiling
plaster, what sort of paint do I use first?
I assume the mdf wood that has boxed in pipes needs some primer first
otherwise I will need many coats right?

also I was thinking of getting cheap brushes and just chucking them when
done - the thought of washing them out and then finding somewhere to store
them does not appeal.

So any tips for me

Thanks for any pointers to this new decorator.

Cheers
