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.

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
