If you use a roller you don't have to mask as much, or at all, saving
materials and time.  I use a piece of file folder cardboard as a mobile
mask.

I painted my very best of all of 'em street rod, a 1970 Chevelle with a
blown 350 (6-71 stuffer) with a roller and Federal Safety Yellow from
Rustoleum.  That car won a bunch of trophies in car shows around Ohio in the
early 90's.  The day after painting I had pulled into a hardware store
parking lot and my car had that just painted odor in the hot sun.  A fellow
hot rod enthusiast pulled in to the lot and parked his custom wheels nearby
.  With interest he asked while looking over my paint job if "I had clear
coated it?".  I replied honest to god, "No, I only had one roller!" ;)
S'true!

Why only one roller, didn't you get the multi pack at Wal-Mart?

Got any pictures? That finish would be interesting to see using a roller.
Bright too!
