I have started to paint a few parts of my 1970 GMC Pick-up and thought I would make a progress report. So far I have only worked on 1 fender, cowl and the grill. They all have 4 coats so far. The cowl and grill I sprayed with a HPLV gun on the first coat as a test and the paint sprays quite well.( color is Regal Red) the following coats are rolled/brushed. It is really going on nicely with no roller marks and only a few runs here and there. My biggest headache so far is dust. I wipe with a tack cloth, wear clean coveralls etc. I think the problem is because I am painting panels that are lying flat on a table and the dust is falling off me as I lean over with the roller. I included a pic of the grill, 4 coats before the next wet sanding.
