Three quarts of Rustoleum gloss white. I thinned 50/50 with mineral spirits. The can says to use acetone, but the folks on the moparts forum had problems with the paint flashing too fast using it as a thinning medium. Mineral spirits seemed to work just fine for me and, when thinned, the paint self-leveled to completely smooth after a few minutes.Thin is the key. Thin. Not thick. Like milk. And keep the roller pretty dry, don't load it up.If your bubbles don't pop, it's too thick (or, you are pressing down way too hard on the roller). Un-thinned Rustoleum will take several months of hot dry weather to dry. You won't be able to sand it until it's dry. A 50/50 mix dries completely in 5-6 hours of warm weather.Below: the "BEFORE" shot.
Looks like a lot of work. Paint and sand... paint and sand... paint and sand...I might try it on one panel to see how it comes out.
