Paint: interior or exterior/ flat, semigloss or gloss?
I'm going to be painting up my two Nintendo cabs soon and I am curious what the best type of paint to use to get a pretty nice smooth and durable finish is? I plan on using either valspar or Olympic paint from Lowes and will be spraying it with the Wagner power painter plus I just purchased. I'm not super meticulous about about getting a 100 percent flawless finish, again, I just want it to look pretty clean and smooth and be durable. I've painted previous cabinets with a foam roller and they turned out OK, but I am hoping maybe using an exterior or higher gloss paint in conjunction with the sprayer will help me get the paint job just right.
Is exterior going to be more durable than interior? Will gloss hold up better? Is applying a final clear coat a must? I'd prefer not to mess with anything oil based, especially for clean up if possible. Any recommendations?
