[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 118038, member: 2096"] I rolled mine on with the foam rollers. I would use the same technique again too. I also did thin mine 10%. I don't know that it is needed. The one compartment that I painted gray I didn't thin and it worked out fine. I think you will be fine either way. I went right over the primer. The primer bites into the metal and the paint bites into the primer. No build up is needed. If you scratch it then your going straight through to the aluminum anyway so skip the extra step. If you use the Rustoleum Pro. spray bomb to paint inside the compartments it will be easy enough to touch up if you ever want too. With my build I used the spray bomb for the floor and all the areas inside the hatches that you could see but would not have much abuse. I didn't take mine down to bear metal inside the areas either, I gave it a good cleaning and a light scuff and called it good enough. I made a HUGE mistake though!! While I have been packing for my move I threw away all 3 cans of paint. I had more then 1/2 gallon of the Tan and Green and white from the trailer and 3/4 gallon of brush on primer . OOOPS!! :oops: I may not of tossed it but I haven't been able to find it and my house has been torn up and down and I don't recall seeing it anywhere. [/QUOTE]
