[AMRadio] Painting experts - Vintage gear

[W5AMI]

I redo a lot of vintage rigs, and I always try to paint the cabinets if I
can.  I have just about given up on rattle can spray due to small fan size
and lack of nice uniformity on the larger cabinets.  I have a commercial
sprayer I want to try (except for setup and cleanup), and wonder if anyone
on the list can tell me what type (not brand) of paint I should use on
primered metal.  Must it be oil based, or with water based paint work
well?  I also wonder about the need of thinning.  My spray tip is .015.

Also, has anyone had any luck using Tung oil mixed with liquid paints to
produce a good wrinkle finish?  If so, how much Tung oil should you start
with in the paint?

I hate the rattle can wrinkle paints.  It's been about 50:50 on success,
unless it is small parts.  Large flat surfaces never give me a uniform
cover of wrinkle.

Thanks
