Everyone makes it seem so simple to get it perfect!
Reading the first two responses before heading out to the boat, this is what we tried....only on the transom.

BTW, the boat has been primed, sanded, primed, sanded...etc.

I rolled a little thicker coat of paint for only about 1' at a time(taking it smaller), rolling from bottom to top, then re-rolled with a dry roller, also from bottom to top. There were too many bubbles still left, so then I tipped with a VERY light touch. 1/2 hour later, NO BRUSH STROKES...that's good. But it did have an orange peel appearance. Hopefully overnight it will level out.

I have a china bristle brush (recommended too), maybe I'll go back to trying that again...with a very light touch.

With the 2nd dry roll, did you get bubbles? Did you squeegie the roller between paper inbetween sections to help keep it 'dry'?

Like I said, you make it all seem so easy....
I'm determined to win this battle of getting a good "smooth" coat!
