I use latex paint and 3" brush. Hi Scott: I have just finished painting 90 boxes a lovely khaki color. I piled them 10 high and painted them with a 10" roller. First coat an oil based primer and then two coats of latex. Each coat takes about an hour to do. I wrap the roller in a plastic bag and keep it in the refrigerator between coats to avoid cleaning it. In the summer I prefer spraying them outside. I spray the latex with a regular Binks gun and a two gallon pressure pot. If you spray using the suction feed cup supplied with the gun you have to thin with quite a lot of water to get the gun to feed. You can use a thinning agent like Flo-trol to cut down on the water, but the pressure pot is really better. Most professional painters use an airless gun for latex, but I don't have one.
