I use Automotive Acrylic Lacquer from Paintmobile.

Primer filler - 4 ltr - buy in bulk.
Base Coat - 1 ltr is more than enough to do one cabinet
Other Colors - 1/2 ltr

I thin using automotive thinners. All products from the same store. I take in the cabinet or pieces of the cabinet for an exact match.

The paint is thinned to suit the gun. Probably 50/50.

Three primer coats. Two topcoats. This paint dries in 10 minutes. I did the primer and base on the Pro football in a 3 hour period.
