Application was just about to manufactures recommendations.

Repair chip, dings etc with an epoxy filler. Sand smooth

Primed with Interlux 404. Sanded down with 220

First coat thinned 8% with 2333n was applied using a 9" roller cut down to 4.5" that is safe for Interlux's two part paint. Tipped with a 4" badger hair brush.

Next day found lots of runs in the paint. #^@*^$%

Sanded out runs with 220 paper.

The next coat I used 4' and 6" small foam rollers I bought from Ace hardware. This time it went on really smooth and needed very little tipping if any at all. However the foam roller would get soft after about 15-20 minutes so I replaced them about every 10 minutes.

Next day paint looked good with zero runs :-)

A light scuff and wipe down for the third and final coat.

No drip, no runs, no errors. Looks great and is very shiny.

As a side note I would start painting around 11:30 AM and put a blue tarp over it with a heater to prevent any condensation on the new paint during the evening.
