I give it a try on my hood and so far the results arn't too encouraging. I tried a mix of 20% mineral spirits and gloss black. Evreyone says to have thin coats with little or no roller pressure, but that way I was getting bubbles everywhere. I found if I put some pressure on it, the paint laid out more evenly but with orange peel instead. Right now I'm on coat 3 with a wetsand after 2. I have to say that 3 is a lot thicker then I put down 1 and 2 and it looks better but it seems kind of dull. Also, in one area the bubbles didn't pop so I guess I'll have to sand that area down. I may just sand the hood down and start over. The first coat was thin, as in you could still see the original blue underneath, but it was very uneven. I think part of the problem was the roller had too much paint on one side causing a sort of checker pattern on the hood. I think I have to improve my roller technique and load up the roller more evenly but with not too much paint?
