In Response To: Material: Using a roller for automotive clear (Paul T)

I did it once on a biadarka.

Seemed to work well, I was surprised at how long of a pot life was available.

I started out spraying, but in my garage it didn't work well.

My finishing work is nothing to brag about, so there were areas where I sanded, wet sanded, and polished - just like the auto guys do with a problem.

Given my lack of skills, I have since decided to have an auto repair shop spray my boats. The first should get done in a couple of weeks. $224 for a couple of coats, my only requirement is no drips/ sags. The shop provides the material. We will see.
