Id have to ask, spray? Furniture grade? Putty, caulk to do? Pulling out an HVLP or Cupgun to fine finish with putty and caulk is lots more than a simple squirt job.

I did a basic 22 ft. X 10 ft. with entertainment center in the middle. Lots of shelves as they were for collector plate display.
One coat per day for semi-crude stuff.

Brush and roll, brave. Two coats plus primer, no putty/caulk I would price about 12-16 hours.
