I dont see anything wrong with that at all.. . just go to the junkyard and understand nothing is forever and ever, this side of heaven. If it looks good from the mailbox, its good. Just because they did that way at the factory, doesn't mean we have to duplicate it, . It wouldn't bother me to take an old truck, or a school bus and paint it in latex. .It works for houses. How many guys have I heard say, I used to enjoy that old hotrod, until I put that expensive paint job on it. Now all I do is worry about it, .where to park it.

Yes, wet sanding and buffing would make it better for sure!

I've used a roller to paint my deuce and a half and Scout as well as my other off road vehicles for many years, sans finnish sanding. To get a smoother finnish thin the paint, use reducer and a fine, low knap roller or quality paint brush. If you use a good quality brush with fine bristles, you won't get any brush marks and a low knap roller usually gives a quite smooth finnish also

Job well done my daddy was a carpenter and painter and he painted many of our vehicles over the years with a paint brush

wet sanding and a spray of clear coat would have been taking this to perfection.

I never heard about Flood before. My "New" to me van had a TV company sign painted on both sides Prepping was a good wash and once over with a green dishwashing pad and a rinse. Then I rolled the paint on with a short nap roller like yours. Then with a fine brush, tipped the paint vertically, then horizontally, scraping excess paint OFF the brush into a coffee can. I gave the sign extra coats. It looked pretty good.....until a hurricane sand blasted one side of the van, but the hurricane damage is a different story. Same cure, though. Next time I'll try some Flood. The roll and tip method is used on racing yacht hulls, and often preferred to spraying. I didn't invent it, just copied it. Thanks for a nice video.
