I thought I might have a go at spraying the doors of my kitchen

I would like to find a book or web site that gives you the howto etc

does anyone know of a good source of info.

Principles are the same as car bodywork spraying. You'll be spoilt for
choice if you search on paint spraying.

The best DIY spray paint is cellulose. It's getting more difficult to find
but is available to order. From an automotive paint supplier or large
motor factor.

Nah. Cellulose is a pig on wood/chipboard as the flex in the panels makes
the stuff craze sometimes

Water based acrylic in the colour you like over the top of a suitable
preparatory basecoat.

There is a melamine surface paint that adheres very well.
Rub down *very* lightly between 2 or 3 coats and finish off the top coat
with wire wool then finish with your colour choice.
