Default Re: Need 'Roll & Tip' tips

Hi, Carla -
Red is a tough color to cover with. It sounds like the paint may also be to thin.
Did you prime the boat before painting?
I use a good quality badger hair brush to "tip" the paint - just drag it lightly over the rolled on paint - not to much pressure, just enough to break the surface. Also, make sure the brush is wet, not dry. Don't "work" the paint, just pull the brush though it once.
If I remember right - 216 thinner? - is another one to use.
I forget which is which, one is for hot, the other for colder temps.
Usually working from the dryer (first applied) to the wetter (newly applied) leaves a better appearance.
Thats my experience - hope it helps.
-Doug
