Re: Painting unfinished furniture

Or one o' them trigger gun gizmos for a can of Cheapass spray paint. Saw my boss using one of those, so I bought a set. I can get close to the kind of results I would get with an airbrush, and it's a lot cheaper than buying a spray rig for doing big jobs. One of the few impulse gadgets that actually works. :)

unfinished furniture store.

about applying the paint (latex). Is it better to spray or brush? The furniture is currently in my garage, so I do not have to worry about paint getting on other items.

I would shy away from latex. In my limited experience painting some shelves with the same semi-gloss latex I used for the trim, I find that things are still sticking to the shelves and leaving marks almost 3 years later. You may want to try something else, considering that an entertainment center usually houses some fairly hefty, heat producing components. Unfortunately I don't really have any suggestions for a good alternative. Possibly an oil based enamel? Somebody around here will know though.
