Dont be giving away all the trade secrets Jigsaw...those little orange Flock rollers bring up satinwood like a coat of spray i've been on the brush for 26yrs so you got a few years on me...KittleRox you thin paint with white spirit ...undercoat & Gloss plenty good enough for Rads in a rental place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_stig 6,614 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Does normal white gloss not start to "yellow" a bit on rads? within days ..use a rad enamel .. avoid anything water based ... Edited June 2, 2011 by the_stig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
