The one pack enamel worked fine.

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)
