Hello All,
I am in the process of re-finishing the cabinet doors in our kitchen. So far I have sanded two doors and applied 3 coats of water based, white paint to the two doors. So far, so good as both doors look good. I am using the sprayer from Rockler. I would like to use the sprayer for the application.
Here is a link to the sprayer:

The next step is the top coat. I have used the Crystallac products in the past and they seemed to work well. I am not sure which one I used, here are links to the two which I would consider:
Choice 1
Choice 2
I have also read about General Finishes here on the forum and elsewhere and it looks to be a good option as well. Here is the General Finish that I would consider:
General Finishes High Performance
The Crystallac is very nice but pricey compared to the General Finishes.
Some questions:
1. Based on my set-up, would you choose Crystalac or General Finishes?
2. Would you use the sprayer or just apply the finish by hand? The doors are very simple. There are mission style. The panel is flat and the rails and stiles do not have any complex angles.
3. Any other suggestions for a top coat? I like water based as clean up is easy.
Thanks, Bill
