I am painting a Aluminum surface with a brush and roller,
With a brush, I get little lines from brush, with the roller, it is
better,but
it is still not smooth as I expected. Is there other tools that make it
the paint smoother? Or should I put thinner in the paint to make it
more liquid?

thanks
Andrew


There is a paint additive for oil based paints called Penetrol. Should be
available at the paint store. that should go a long way to level out the
brush marks. Also use a good Purdy brush with natural bristle. You might
also try the paint pads.

they come up with this striped stuff.
