I have been thinking of making several cabinets for my detached garage. I w as thinking plywood carcass, but maybe poplar face frames with raised panel s made out of mdf. The garage is insulted but not heated/air conditioned un less I am in there and then only a propane heater.
I need to make several of them and I figured painting them a dark color wou ld be best as they will probably get dirty. I work with everything from woo d to cars. My shop is a 30x30.
I want them to look nice, but I also want them to hold up. I would like to attempt to paint them with a sprayer. I have a large air compressor and a c raftsman gun which may be siphon fed or HVLP, I am not sure. It has the cup at the bottom.
What kind of paint would you use? I am concerned with humidity and paint pe eling. When I built the house around 97, I painted all my outdoor door fram es with enamel. Every single piece of wood I painted with enamel ended up p eeling badly.
I am not sure I can spray latex through the sort of gun I am talking about.
What about laquer? I have never worked with it. It seems maybe I read it is prone to cracking, I don't know.
I appreciate any advice you can provide!
