I'm sorry, but this is not the correct way of doing this.
First, wear a respirator and save you lungs. I dint care how open the space is, you are breathing paint. Maybe you were just making an instructional video and not wearing one but you can clearly see it was affecting you.
Behr is not a primer and paint in one despite what they tell you. It will not get hard enough nor bond well enough to withstand the test of time. Its a cheap paint.
Use a sander or liquid de-glosser to give the surface more tooth or adhesion. Use a bonding primer and then top coat with the appropriate enamel. You don't know what kind of contaminates are on the oak doors and I guarantee you don't want to find out mid way through spraying, i.e silicone, waxes, oils, human fingerprints, etc.
Oak can bleed stains back into the paint and Behr won't block stains. You may have to use an oil based primer or even a synthetic white shellac to block stains. You cannot go back and use an oil primer after using the latex. I repeat. If you get stains, you cannot then decide to use an oil primer or you will have a whole new set of issues. Best to use the stain blocking primer to begin with.
Oak cabinets can not just be sprayed more to fill in the open grain. Use a wood filler before priming or brush into the grain in the primer coats. You can clearly see on the video the sides are still raw and they look unfinished.
Use a smaller tip (i.e. a 312 Rac-X ) and get less over spray.
You have the doors too low to the ground. You will get particulate blown around can affect the final coats from the pressure of the sprayer so its almost better to spray in one area and dry in another. Use a saw horse and then move to dry for example.
Put up plastic on all the walls and protect your personals!
Leaving your garage open may give you fresh air but a small gust of wind and you will have debris, leaves, sand, dirt, flies in your finish product. Especially when it near the ground. I recommend keeping it closed.

so i made it too . just by using woodprix woodworking plans 🙂
Flip over a 5 gallon bucket, set a gallon paint can on top of it, set a cabinet door on it, spray the door and carry it to wherever you're letting it dry. There are many reasons for this.
A hour to clean that machine?
It takes me less than 10 minutes to clean my gx 19.
