Painting my cab - should I lay it down?
kelemvor:
Going to paint the side of my cab and want to get a nice finish. I'm not going to go crazy with infinite sanding, painting, etc so I can use it as a mirror. Just want it to looks nice and be mostly smooth with minimal work.
I'm wondering if I'd get each side to be smoother if I laid the cab down on its side to paint the opposite sides. Then every dan I can roll it and paint the next side. I'd think that if the paint can settle while flat it'd even out more imperfections and end up looking nicer over all.
Anyone recommend or not this way? Or have experience with this?
THanks.

I wouldn't bother. Just do lots of light coats.
Also, if you have it lying down you are more likely to get dust a crap settling on it.

Also I was just going to use a roller. Do regular rollers work fine or do those foam kind work better? Not sure if it makes a huge difference or not.
spacies:
The foam ones give a flatter finish.
Be sure to use one that has rounded ends. The straight edged ones make it harder to get a nice overlap without leaving those little lines of paint.

Frizz swears by sponge rollers.
