Hi Derek,
Did you use the 2 pack polyurethane or the 1 pack enamel?

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)
