I tried rolling then spraying...seemed to lay down ok just much orange peel. Now the problem, buffing causes scratching. A friend of mine who is a "pro" says it's because there is no hardener...the paint will stay soft causing it to be almost unbuffable...probably ok for "budget paint"...i guess I was expecting too much.
Since I painted the whole car, today I am learning to use "aircraft stripper" !! Chuck
That's unfortunate Chuck. I know there are varying definitions of "soft" but the thin layers put on correctly with a roller seem to be very hard. In my experience, the thicker a layer is the softer it feels.
I am hoping anyway that thin layers with plenty of dry time will result in a surface that can be buffed (or whatever takes the microscratches out). I did a small patch by hand with some swirl remover and even that showed an increase in shine. My bonnet was not staying put on my buffer or I would have spent more time on it with a machine, but the results by hand were promising.
if you look at pics posted by Admactanium and JeffS, you will see a nice shine there.
here is jeff's original post where he talked about buffing..
