You will get a much better finish using a very fine/smooth roller and applying 2-3 coats. --- End quote --- What???? Since when can you get a better finish with a roller..... What a load of tosh!! If that was the case then cars would be roller painted. The answer is that spraying will always produce a better finish BUT! unless you have spray equipment, it's not worth doing on something the size of a cabinet. You'll use a very large number of rattle cans at a very very high cost. So yes... stick to the glossing roller... but not because it produces a better finish. It will produce a finish that is perfectly well up to arcade standards.

A professional spray gun and properly thinned and mixed paint will look godlike if applied as such. Multiple different spray cans with different consistancies and applications will look like utter crap. |

I used this stuff. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/autospray.html It dries rock hard in about an hour leaving a very smooth texture without the need for sanding in between coats. The downside is that a 5oz can costs about $5.00 and takes about six cans for a full size cabinet. I thought it was worth it. |
