Default Painting question

Not directly auto related, but there is a slight connection.

I am looking to paint some old laminate cupboards. I'm going to experiment first on a old desk, and see how it comes up.

There is specialised paint for this, but really the question is application and the quality of the finish.
It seems a popular option is to take the doors and drawer faces to an auto spray-painter and have them professionally sprayed in auto paint. But that still leaves the bench-tops.
(one option would be to have the doors done by a spray-painter, and the tops re-done by somebody like "Granite Transformations," but that could get pricey.)

So my options for DIY experimentation are:
1) Whip out my compressor and learn how to spray-paint.
2) Use a small micro-fibre roller.
3) Use a spray can. - Enamel
4) Spray Can - Epoxy. (Designed for Metal.)

Any thoughts or recommendations?
If using the Epoxy, what should I use to undercoat?
