My go-to-finish for MDF is Zinsser Clear Spray Shellac.
The above photo is of a prototype with a Richlite Stratum Birch front panel, cabinet shell is MDF, and the Edge Protection Strips are ($$$!) Extreme Flame Tiger Maple, at about $100 per Board foot.
The Zinsser Clear Spray Shellac makes for a nice Satin finish on MDF. So I assume it would do the same for Valchromat.
