Looking for input:

And .... yes, I HATE PAINT/PAINTING/ANY THING PAINTING!

Thanks,


Yeah, me, too. Hate it. I'm dealing with the same issue with trying to
spray oil enamel on these bookcases. Since I'm a complete newbie at HVLP
I can't give any useful advice, other than don't use it, unless you're
very experienced with your HVLP sprayer.

I wanted something harder and faster drying for the shelves than the oil
going on the rest of the cases. I ended up buying some of this....

...and it went on beautifully smooth and even. It dried very fast and
can be re-coated within an hour. If you're talking Monday, I wouldn't
want to be waiting 24 hours for oil paint out of a gallon can to dry.

I was thinking about that very product. I've used it before on small
bits of filler trim that needed to match a black appliance on kitchen
cabinets, and it worke nicely.

I don't mind spraying the BIN with HVLP, but I hate the idea of spraying
a high VOC paint to get something to dry faster, so the rattle can,
considering the relative small size of the piece, might do the trick.

Did you use a topcoat, or just go with a satin finish?

Thanks ...
