I agree with the comments posted above but I haven't experimented with different amounts of thinners. If you make it too thin it's hard to apply without getting runs. I presume you are using white spirits as thinner?

Yes, have been using white spirit as a thinner. What a difference it makes to the 'workability' of the paint. After only 2 days of drying I've rubbed down my garage door with 800 wet and dry, no issues of hardness at all. Can't wait to get stuck into the van.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?
Exactly. Spraying rustoleum comes up now and then but you'd be hard pushed to beat a rollered finish if the mix is right and you've become adept at applying it. I agree, subsequent repairs are easily sorted with the roller and its soon dry. In that way it wins out - akin to keeping a narrow boat in good cosmetic order

My brother and I rollered our tintop with RAL4007 at the weekend.
I've never done any painting before so I was well chuffed with how well it's come out. It's only the first coat and is a little patchy still. I'm going to give it a few weeks before flatting back and putting on a second coat.
That looks great. Love the colour! Mine is redder (wine red). RAL3005 if I remember right. The original colour was about halfway between the wine red and your RAL4007.
