He probably meant MDO, which is medium density overlay plywood. The overlay is a resonated paper that takes paint really well and holds up to moisture. It is often used for outdoor signage and wide trim, like under bow windows. 1/4 inch luan will work too. Cut, paint, install. MDF is another type of chipboard, which is the crap you probably got from HD. This is what is used under laminate counters. When water gets into it, it expands and is no good.
