Now there's a man after my own heart.
I might go for a slightly more delicately applied finish though, if
the suggestion of one turns up.


Rollering's OK with gloss, it can be made to leave a very
slightly orange-peely finish that hides minor imperfections
well. I suppose you could always use a spray can of stopper
or some sort of primer, rub it down, and use a spray can of
a suitable colour to finish it off.


Thanks, i'll put it on my short list of possibilities.
I've been thinking of buying an air brush on ebay, mainly for other
purposes. I know it would mean lot's of refills, even if an airbrush
will spray gloss paint, which is possible I supposes.
