Paint prep for wrap

[fluentd]

I was wondering if everyone was using a specific type of paint to prep there cabinet for a wrap? I figured a foam roller with any old black gallon paint would work but wanted to see if there was anything specific to use?

Gloss or semi gloss works best for me.

Wouldn't gloss work the least well?  If you do a good job on the paint there is less for the wrap to adhere onto. 

It really depends on how much of the side you're going to wrap.  If you are going to fully cover it I would use a dark primer.

I discovered with vinyl that a slick, glossy surface worked best. Any surface that was absorbent, like bare wood or a primed surface, tended to have poor adhesion of the vinyl. As you probably have read in other places, vinyl will reveal every single tiny flaw in the surface you are working with.
