For those of us not using Compressors, here is how I do it using just a standard set of paint rollers....
First thing is to make sure the cab is fairly well sanded and wiped down to remove any loose dust. Dont go mad using a fine sandpaper as the textured finish will hide all but the worst of scrapes:-
Next is to give the cabs a first coat using a small non textured paint roller.
I use an old set of speaker stand to suppor tthe cabs on
The stuff I use from Aldcrofts dries so quick that by the time I have completed the second cab, the first coat is touch dry and can be re-coated.
This is the finish after just one coat:-
After applying the second coat using the same small roller allow the paint to dry a little (just about touch dry or tacky) I then use a textured roller cut in half to apply the textured final coats. I cut the roller in half as it allows a little more control over the application.
This is the roller coated in paint along side a fresh unopened roller:-
And here is the completed cab. 1.5-2 hours from start to finish including time for a coffee to allow the second coat to dry....I only did one textured coat on these cabs.
