Metal cabinets, gravity fed spray gun
I have some metal cabinets that need to be refinished. My paint gun is powered by a compressor, is gravity fed and puts out a low-pressure spray, like that used to paint cars. What kind of paint can I buy to use?

If you want to go automotive-style and do it yourself, you might be in for a surprise at what is involved in order to get a decent paint job. I would have the job out-sourced or replace the cabinets. Save yourself a migraine.
