Going to tear down Pin*Bot and this is my first time repainting a cabinet.
I've asked a pinsider I know does fantastic work for his recommendation on how to repaint and he has had good luck with RustOleum rattle cans. I had someone else recommend against and advise I use a foam roller to get a consistent finish.

I don't intend to do this enough to invest in a full blown expensive paint delivery method, but I'm open to suggestions on how best to paint using home tools and considering I don't have anything fancier than sawhorses and a driveway to paint!

I was skeptical until I tried it, but I've had great results using (Whizz brand - no kidding) 4" high density foam mini rollers bought from the local big box store. I've used both on EM restorations and to paint over bad areas on SS machines, including a Pinbot. Cheap, quick, and surprisingly easy to maneuver the roller around artwork without lap marks. For cabinet black I normally use Rustoleum Painter's Touch semi-gloss, although you may prefer a glossier finish.

Any other thoughts? My thinking for the moment is foam brush on the gloss black base coat and spray on the smaller colors.
