Painting MDF
thund3rstruck:
Well this is a once in a lifetime kind of thing for me (personal therepy following my recent divorce...ha) so I'm taking my time and doing it right. I'd really like that high-gloss, glass-like finish so I think I'll purchase the necessary equipment to accomidate.
Is this what I need in terms of the sprayer?

I think I need an air compressor as well, is this right? Can anyone share a link to a reasonably affordable one if this is required.
Thanks again,

IntruderAlert:
Another option would be to cover it with vinyl i guess
anybody know where to buy that stuff?

I guess vinyl would provide the gloss and shine without the expense of purchasing both a power sprayer and a compressor.
According to Lucid's Arcade Flashback he used black contact paper.
Ace hardware sells some of this stuff.

Sorry, I missed this question. The cabinet was painted just as it looks in the picture.

I'm guessing you did some serious masking work if you sprayed it while assembled. ;D

i think contact paper is a little too little.
