spray paint job => no sanding? oil or water?

I'm in the process of repainting my oak cabinets. I'm already exhausted just trying to do the primer. Working with oak itself is already bad enough. I have to load the brush with lots of paint to fill the grains. But, not so much that it's accumulate in the creases. On top of that, the cabinets have lots of trims and arches. It's a never ending story just to get a good coverage. I still have 21 more doors to go. Sigh.... :(

My contractor has offered to lend me his spray equipment :). I'm going to spray paint all the doors and drawers to speed up the process. I can get a good coverage with spraying and no sanding inbetween coats because spraying is going to be smooth, right??? And, I might even get away with only one coat of primer.

I'm using the 100% acrylic BEHR paint from Home Depot and Zinsser Bullseye

1-2-3 water-based primer. Are those good enough for spray paint?

thx in advance

You may get it reasonably smooth after you have learned how to spray. Figure a couple of dozen doors for practice.
