If you don't mind me asking, why did you sand between coats? There was no need to sand after any of the coats of paint I applied.

Um well I don't always do that, but I believe it is usually recommended to do so if you want a smooth finish.
And yes by 'matt' I mean flat. We spell it that way in England ;)

Minwah,
So sometimes you attempt a perfectly smooth surface vs. the slightly textured surface created by a smooth foam roller? I can appreciate that.

Yeah I see what you mean, you'll always get a texture from a roller I suppose. I just like to start off with as smooth surface as possible, and then any 'unsmoothness' you finish with is down to the roller.
I haven't done any proper top-coating to my cab yet, but I picked up an unusual (to me anyway) roller, which is supposed to give a very smooth finish. It is like a normal foam roller but with a thin surface of velvety stuff. I'm interested to see how it turns out...
