[QUOTE="mmarz4evr, post: 303676, member: 7211"] I was going to use the "roll and brush" method but the small foam roller worked nicely as far a streaks and sags go. Apply light coats (check manufactures instructions for the time before applying more coats). Temperature is a very important factor for a nice result also. The hardener did help smooth out the layers that I put on with the brand of paint that I used. The hardener that I used was made for the brand paint that I used (don't know if that mattered). Good luck.[/quote] Ok thanks. Do you think it's Ok if I give a light sand to some areas in-between coats? I tried to put the 1st coat on as light as I can, but noticed in areas where the rivets are a little extra paint did sag. I'd like to just lightly sand those areas and apply another light coat. I also think I should wait till it gets a little warmer than the 30's which it is now. So i will be more patient with the next coats. Overall the hardener is not showing streaks and the paint is dry to the touch and it's only been 24hrs. [/QUOTE]
