Only if it has onions in it. If there are no onions, it's just horseboy's mom.

I used Rust-Oleum oil based Black Satin as I have 4 children and I wanted a tough enamel finish. I highly recommend an oil based as it's hard as nails! Also, go with a oil based primer and have it tinted to what ever color you are using. Take the time and use two coats sanding down to about a 300 grit and it will hide any minor blemishes you have in the wood underneath. I used a white high quality dense roller, but will probably use a sprayer next time I tackle one of these.

Oil based through a sprayer is a helluva nasty cleanup.

Here in Canada, Benjamin Moore makes a black oil enamel that is the BLACKEST BLACK I have ever seen and covers brilliantly. It comes as black in the can (no tinting) and is a good, tough, solid black.

As long as it comes out of the end of gun, I am happy.
Current paint of choice, 2k, or 2 pot. Base coat and clear coat.
The same stuff your car is painted with.
Goes on dead flat and has the best shine and wear.
You have to be careful using it though. Full air fed respirator etc.
I am currently working on a project and I will post some pics in a couple of weeks when it's done.
