Paint gun if you have the time to clean it and know how to use it.

i think the whole point of the 50buck job is that you use a self leveling enamel and cheap rollers... if youre going to go with a gun and all of the rest of the chemicals that go with that, youre in the territory of a normal paint job, just a more affordable DIY one.

Dude Def use a spray gun harbor freight has some cheap guns that you can buy and PPG has a brand of paint called shop line it is retively cheap depending on color but really cheap compared to other brands and will look last and hold up better than a roller job bc you will regret if you ever have to go back and try to paint it because you will never be able to get all that stuff off without striping it all the way down.

Get a test panel and just try from about 1 to foot and 1/2 and try what feels best try to use your wrist and not so much elbow just prep good or will end up doing it again because trash and use a tack rag before squirting and you can get paint at a local paint store they sell to the public. and yes prime first!

like mike said, it wont be a $50 job if you use a gun, more like a couple hundred, but there will be much less sanding. personally, i would buy a $99 set of 2 guns/accessories (i cant remember the brand, but i saw that set in a magazine once and it was good), primer, paint, clear-coat, and wet/dry sandpaper (as well as all the other stuff i cant think of right now). it shouldnt be more than about 400 if ou get decent stuff for all of it.
