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.


I believe you mean Floetrol.

No I meant Penatrol.. Made by the same folks, but Floetrol is for latex,
Penetrol is for oil based.

The OP mentioned thinner so I assumed he had oil based paint.
