Naturally the ideal situation would be to have one uniform color. BUT your present 'tiger' configuration will work just as well in the long run.

The key thing to keep in mind is that your 'tiger' look will be visible for about 4 to 6 coats ( depending if your paint/mineral spirit mixture is thinned enough - and also depending whether you are using the Rustoleum/Tremclad paint or the Brightside paint ).

BUT that is ok... because you are not suppose to get instant 100% color coverage when rolling. The 'ghost' of the tiger will slowly disappear as each new coat of paint is rolled on.

At this point, just satisfy yourself that your tiger is as smooth as you can get it. The layers of roller coated paint will make the tiger go away... but more importantly the smoothness of the initial surface will have a bigger impact on the final shine etc.

Just don't be tempted to thicken up the paint mixture too much in a rush to get the tiger to go away. Some folks get impatient and try to rush getting some color coverage and encounter problems later because it didn't lay down ( self level ) as well as it could have if it had been thinned out. Also.. if you lay down too thick a coat in a rush to get some color coverage... well you might end up with the coats not curing ( hardening ) as quickly as they should.
