I use both 2K paint and regular Humbrol enamels.
Looking at your above picture I'd personally go with 2K satin or gloss black on the sides and enamel on the red. 2K you
can use a high density roller but the roller foam with start to disintegrate in about 5-10 minutes....
I'd say touch up the red first and see how you feel about your progress. You can get reasonable results with red Humbrol paint. I'm working on my Scared Stiff cabinet as we speak. That's had a combination of 2K and enamels.
Good luck which ever way you go and spend your time doing it, there's no short cuts with this stuff.
