ya i know:D .....well the rustoleum i bought says thinner is not required for roll or brush on, only spray on
 
Yeah, cuz they expect you to live with brush/roller marks..

I'm telling ya, even a splash makes it lay out WAY better... What reducer do they call for on a spray application?

15% i believe
 
readily available... Do yourself a favor and pick up a qrt.... it's cheap, under $10... throw in about 5%, maybe a tad more and it'll make a world of difference...

shoot me a pm if you've got prep or application questions...
 
i put acetone into the paint, but when i started painting, in one little section, it looked all bubbly, so i took a rag and wiped it off and the paint was peeling....what did i do wrong??? i washed the truck:confused:...it seemed real watery also
 
When I thinned the paint I used as per the instructions it was real watery as well.
It took 2 coats to adequately cover my top.

Acetone will peel some paint that you're trying to cover. May need to blast off the old paint.

yup, it was cringing.... the solvents and acetone in the paint are eating into the substrate.. the thinner you make the paint the more it will do that... As said, you may need to take off whatever layers of paint someone put on there... or just run straight paint on the first coat, then throw a little thinner in the second...

don't get carried away with the thinner.. watery is not a good consistency... remember the poormans viscosity test i told you about? if your brushing it on, you want a drip count off your paint stick of maybe 12 to 15 seconds..
