Hi,
I'm planning to paint my first woodworking project (a particleboard cabinet)
but I don't know what to use. Some people says that there's special painting
for wood. On the store, the vendor said that I can use the same
anticorrosion paint used for metal finishing... What do you recommend for an
absolute beginner? I'd like to get a highly polished coloured finish. Since
I'll paint a particleboard I'd like to obtain simulated lines on the wood by
combining two tones of paint. I saw that somewhere in the net but I forget
where. Can somebode to point me to the site where this technique is
described?
Thanks in advance

I know nova has helped but just for the record.
Particle board is particle board, nothing but paint will ever help it's
looks.
There is nothing special about painting it.
Go out and get a gallon of primer and a gallon of whatever you want on top.
If it goes in your shop, go relatively cheap and by Wal*mart, lowes brand
etc. outdoor stuff. if it is supposed to be an
indoor-look-at-it-the-rest-of-your-life project spend a bit more for
dutchboy etc.
