*cringes at the thought of painting real wood*
I understand though. Quality wood is real expensive, especially when you're making something as large as an entertinment center. When I use pine to build things, I often paint them too. Latex paint will work just fine. After you're done priming, take a 220 grit sandpaper and knock off some of the sheen. Then, take a tack cloth and get all of the dust off the project. You shouldn't have too much trouble getting a good finish with a roller and brush, as long as you don't try to do the entire paint job in one coat. Use at least two coats, putting it on thin. When you try to cover it all in one coat, you tend to put it on thicker and get drips and brush strokes. Several thinner coats will give you a much smoother finish.
We want to see pictures when you're done.
