I painted some bi-fold doors on the kitchen pantry and used the small 1 " diameter rollers with a small tray. The smaller roller is easier to control and doesn't soak up too much paint.

What kind of paint are you going to use on the piece?

Here is a DIY painted armoire.

Check with your paint store. They will help you match the type of roller/brushes to the paint.

Good Luck with your project.
