If you used MDF and you are painting them yourself you are going to have a hard time MDF soaks up like a sponge.If you really want to make your own doors I would use a birch veneer on a mdf core plywood/sheet material. you will need to cover the edges of your doors to hide the MDF material so you can finish the doors
Here how I would do this, if your going with a white color, I would purchase Therm-o-foil doors and install over on my current boxes, after you have painted to match, will give you the best look, allow you to cover -up imperfections and cut down on your work load.
If you used a "paint grade" material for doors, they are still going to expand and contact which will over time show up as hair line breaks or cracks in the paint/finish
I wouldn’t use MDF for the doors. Look at birch plywood. You could trim with moulding.
