painting unfinished furniture

I am looking to purchase a few pieces of unfinished furniture. I do not want to stain them, I am thinking about painting them white and adding custom hardware. Would the best way to paint these pieces be spray paint? If so, do I need to do anything to the wood besides paint it?

Thank you.

Hello krisnrod, regardless of how you decide to apply finish paint the wood needs to be sealed with an oil based sandable primer. This will seal the wood and raise the grain and sanding with 220 sandpaper will smooth the surface very well. KILZ Original, Zinsser Primer Sealer and many others are available in quarts/gallons and spray cans.....Mike
