Paint type recommendations for CP?

[Richardgregory]

I've decided not to go to the spray paint route, but instead will stick with traditional paint.  So far I"ve primed the MDF with an oil based primer, and will proceed to painting it this wknd I hope.

Anyone here with suggestions on the type of paint (oil vs latex) and the sheen of the paint that would be best for a CP?  I will be putting a pane of plexi glass over the top of the CP, so perhaps it doesn't matter?

I was told to avoid using a brush or roller, but instead use a 4" foam roller.

Thanks

Spray paint the back of the plexi.  As long as it's fully covered, it will look like an awesome paint job.
