Martin,
I have a canal boat and have used international paints. If you roller
and then brush finish soon after there is a very respectable finish to
be had and the thickness of the paint applied can be very reasonable.
It depends what you want.
I think that modern cars are finished to such a high gloss that it's
gone too far. The real driver seems to be to provide a permanent just
waxed look at all times without any requirement to do anything to the
car. That may be OK in one sense, but I still remember when cleaning
was counted as part of the maintenance regime of your vehicle - a time
when you, e.g. checked tyres. Now it seems drivers never check their
cars over, just drive on half flat tyres and stop on the hard shoulder
when a warning light comes on!
Arrrrgh! I've become an old fogey!

I've been an advocate of brush painting GRP, but everybody seems to
want to go with spraying.
I'd be interested on your thoughts. Who's paint did you use? I
contacted International paints, who considered for a car my plans to
brush paint rather than roller were a good idea. Their guidance to
roller, then tip-off with brush is ideal for larger items (such as a
yatch) though.
I've painted a car before, using single-pack polyurethane alkyd, and
although the finish was great the paint went dull after a few
months! I'll certainly won't be using that again. The single pack
can't be flatted down either - I believe the 2 pack can.
I have to get a paint mixed up to match the Oxford Blue of my Q
saloon so that I can brush paint my "Quantum Sleep" matching folding
caravan - The only place I can find which will mix a matching paint
for brushing is Witham Paints (unless you can advise)
