I would seriously rethink the paint you want to use. I just did a large millwork job. I sprayed a colored pre-cat primer, lightly sanded with 320 within 30 minutes and then followed with two coats of tinted pre-cat with maybe 20 minutes between coats. The next morning I stacked and wrapped the pieces with no problem. I used a solvent based product but also could have bought water borne. Dry time would be more weather dependent. Assuming you need to spray indoors I just happen to have a portable explosion proof fan with an 8 meter large exhaust hose. Hope this helps
Gee, and I keep getting accused of over thinking everything!
I agree, but want to do some testing first.
OK, 2 projects. One is the continuing furniture jobs of plain old poly and stain. I think the gun I just got will do that very well. Small 1.3 tip and of course poly can be thinned as needed. It should do well on 2K and clearcoat when I finish my Stag interior. (cold-formed walnut trim)
Kitchen is the second project. Doors I can do in the shop, but face frames will have to be done insitu. The SW Emerald, maybe with a bit of flow modifier, can be brushed or rolled on the frames and I hope do pretty well. They claim it is as hard as Alkaid enamel, but only testing will tell. I can thin about 10% with water and add a little flow modifier, but it may need more like a 1.8 or larger tip to spray the doors. If it is actually not useable in a compressor/HTE and not any better in a 4 or 5 stage turbine, then it is the wrong paint. I don't know anything about the current water based auto paints and nothing about pre-cat. Only the good old 2K single stage enamels.
Searching for cabinet paints
S-W Emerald said to be harder to apply than most ( I have a quart to test)
S-W Pro-Classic Acrylic Alkyd ( obsoleted by Emerald?)
B-M ADVANCE satin is said to be lower viscosity. Maybe easier to spray.
FinePaints of Europe Eurolux Acrylic Says may be sprayed. Could be the best paint. Very expensive.
Valspar Cabinet
Valspar oil enriched enamel, door and trim. Maybe OBE.
Behr trim and cabinet
Behr Hybrid Urethane Alkyd Semi-Gloss
Insl-X self priming
Furrow and Ball is full gloss only.
Product sheets seem to be focused on DIY brush or roller, not spray. No suggestions for viscosity, pressures anything. It seems the only reliable guidance is to test everything myself.
