Whoever told you that is totally wrong. Outgassing occurs when VOCs leave the paint as it drys. Latex and other waterbased paints now are very low to 0 VOCs. There is really no outgassing that can occur. Once waterbased paint is dry it's dry. I work for Sherwin Williams so that info is sound. Also I have done my fair share of vinyl applications on arcade cabs.Oil paint funny enough never dries. It's molecules slowly shrink as it dries and eventually 10-20 years later you will see the product start to crack and Alligator. So go ahead and use a good waterbased coating. for side art I find a good waterbased semigloss enamel works great.
Honestly I've never heard of someone using oil-based paint on a cab.
Thanks for the help everyone! Gloss black It is!

If I'm not mistaken, most spray paints are various synthetic blends, so even if it's "oil paint" there's more in it than oil, thus it changes the properties of the paint. At least that's how it was explained to me.

At least that's how it was explained to me. That's interesting. I have not heard that. I think Spray Paint has such a small amount of paint that they can be sold in some VOC restricted states like Illinois. So the stuff we make and sell is oil, and in Illinois it is oil. But California? That is totally possible!
