Black Satin Behr Latex is what I use. Very smooth and very durable.
Smooth sounds like you don't want to see any brush mark? Take doors off and spray paint them.
Take to an auto body shop, my girlfriend did, it looks awesome! Just like glass . . .
I would use a latex semi gloss. If you want it really shiny then use a high gloss.
I really like Rustoleum's Painter's Touch. I've refurbished several Depression-era floor lamps that had spent some time in a wet basement and had rusted. The Painter's Touch laid such a nice finish on them that it looks like a ceramic coating. You will have to take the doors off and set them up on saw horses to spray but you won't have brush marks to spoil the smooth finish. I would estimate one spray can for each door side, maybe less.
nI had to start in one corner, the furthest from the door, and take an area of only 3 square feet. I pick up each article individually and consign it to 1) a trash bag, 2)a bag of things to put away in other rooms, 3) things to give away to charity or someone who wants it, or 4) things that I am willing to fix (I have to be very careful with number four, because it's so tempting to think I will fix everything. In the long run I end up fixing very few things. So I usually give myself a deadline of a week or two, at which time anything that is not fixed goes away.
Hi Debra. I love Pittsburgh Paints. I have tried others but they didn't cover as well even when it was paint and primer in one.
