I have a question for the satin/flat roller's out there!
Our journeyman was given the task to try this on his project. He is rolling flat black rustoleum. he is on the 5th or 6th coat and it still has really bad roller marks.
I went over it as I have been playing with the method for a while, and I had no better success. it goes on easy, but then when it dries it looks bad.
I am thinking for flat we may need to shoot it.



I've been mid-process with Satin for about a month. My first couple coats, thinned probably 35% or more, left no marks whatsoever (and looked really good).

My last coat I think was thinned only around 20% or so, and I did get roller marks.

I'm doing another coat tonight and I plan on going back to 30 to 40% thin mix.

I'm also switching to oderless mineral spirits to have more time to "roll out" the roller marks when doing large areas like the roof, C pillers and rear quarters. (which are all one giant section on my 68 Charger).
