Hm.. why spray? Faster yes but spray paint somehow doesn't colour wood very well... gets absorbed or what...

Not too sure lah but that's what I have experienced in the past...

If you want a matt finish, I would suggest using wood stain instead. Matt varnish is not very matt.

Spraying is better than painting because it shows the grain better.

coz spraying more fun. what is wood stain
