There's no shortcut to applying this stuff. Applicator and stroke technique are real important. Also, dry time between coats (NOT the instructions on bottle of 20 minutes).

Did you read this thread with all the detailed application tips? Yes it's long, but there's very detailed info. see post #1, #58 and #63

Don't think anyone else tried Marlin's method because his expectations may have been different than most of us, as his is a real trail rig, "pretty" isn't a high priority to him.

Did you look at my detailed pics?
Do you see any of the horrible streaking?

I had one problem area (front driver bumper) cuz I tried to stretch it as I was running out….and got streaks from the 2" roller brush. Fixed it up with more coats.

Comes out even better when diluted with mineral spirits and sprayed on. Several did it that way.
