Roller is a lot less mess and dooable as and when. With spraying you have to mask absolutely everything. Technically you should get a better finish spraying but those who've followed the WIKI and got it right have achieved damned good results. Horse for courses but I wouldn't spray again put it that way.

Just about to order my rustoleum

.I was just wondering how you measured out the paint & thinner and what did you mix it in?
Thanks for the advice Sas

I have used things like old icecream tubs, or lunch boxes, then you can snap the lid on when you want to stop.

Yes although I have been spaying outside for over forty years without incident the hightened HSW and Environmental awareness (largely OTT) and progressive grumpyness of certain individuals means that my next large paint job will probably get a roller tryout.

ive been playing around spraying it

goes on great in my opinion ( i do have exp spraying with proper car paints tho)

thin it down with white spirit , and ive been warming mine up in a jam jar stood in hot water

you can get a good thick coat on , ive gone to about 4 coats in one session with 5-10 between coats

doesnt run or sag unless you do something really daft , and if you need to tickle the repair or add more its good enough to flat and repaint in a week

any questions...ask away
