Does automotive paint work well for kitchen cabinets? I have a regular spray gun, not hplv. If not what kind of paint should I use. I am painting over new MDF. Thanks.

Maybe I can answer by asking: would you take cabinet paint and use that on your car?

I have heard that painting kitchen cabinets with automotive paint is the new style and getting more popular as time goes bye. I also want to paint my wooden kitchen cabinets with automotive paint. I want to know how I can prepare the doors and drawers for painting. I want the doors to be smooth with no wood grain showing and I wonder if I can do this with several coats of primer (primer, sand, primer, sand etc.)? If so can I do my primer with spray cans?

If you must have auto paint on your cabs then go for it. Myself I prefer A good latex paint.
As far as getting the doors smooth find a good filler primer. If your using auto paint might as well use auto Primer. Then sand between coats just like your car. If you do this post me back I would love to know how it turns out.
