I rolled it on and tipped it with a brush to smooth it out.... tipping/dragging is just taking a brush and lightly pulling it over the surface after the paint is rolled on... since the paint is polyurethane, and it was a hot day, I had a bucket of water and put the brush in the bucket it keep it from drying... when i took the brush out, I'd just shake the water out and it worked fine... the finish is not perfect because it is over plywood, but it looks very good.

I'd roll on a 2x2 foot area, then tip it and move on.

Every time I go to KY, I stop at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, often camping at their c/g..... They always have this r/v sale going on. Lots of r/v's, few lookers... but I'm sure they get a lot of high roller horse owners staying there, so it probably is a good spot... right at the entrance of the c/g..... there are no small campers for sale....

someone suggested on my web page index I use titles instead of numbers. There is a limit to the number of characters, and I've made the change...

It might save even me a bit of time when I try to find a pic of something someone has asked about.... but a bit harder to make references.

Nice car! :thumbsup: My brother-in-law refurbished a 34 Chevy with a similar color.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Congratulations on your new furry friend! She looks like a nice pooch.
That's the kid of dog I was thinking of getting before my Brittany caught my eye.
