Default Re: painting blue over red

Back again with the rest of your questions. I also used the role and tip method and I would do it again works great. First off on the primer you don’t have to tip just role let dry and then sand to make smooth (only use foam rollers on the whole job). Now on the coats of paint role about 1 to 2 linear feet and then tip. Start from the top and go down to the bottom of the hull all one stroke. The roller spreads the paint and does 90 % of the work the brush is to remove the air bubbles in the paint. “Do not use a lot of paint on the brush” it’s only to remove the air bubbles and help spread what the roller did. Use a very good brush and remember 3 light coats are “much better” that 1 or 2 heavy ones, “don’t use a lot of pressure” on the brush again it’s only used to remove the air bubbles. Sand with wet sand paper between coats, use a 2 ˝” brush. Lighter color paints will look better that the darker colors. If you are using the 2 part paints I like Sterling Paint has better properties to it for the role and tip method.
