    Opinion. But I'd be done in half the time whilst you'd still be standing there fannying about with a brush

    Name me 2 top qaulity brush manufacturers known the world over.

    I said 2. Hamilton & Purdy. Im a decorator by trade chap i dont talk sh1t like some other people

    But, on topic, 2 pack is easy rollerable and you can get perfect result's doing it. Garage floor paint is 2pack (well, the JODUN stuff is) and is also ideal for painting metal work, but costly at £110+vat for 14.4ltr + 5.6ltr hardener.

    not saying you do mate but then you must know that gloss looks better with brush strokes not a speckled finish i understand doing it on a quick cheap job but for the best finish brush strokes are the one

    FFS!! A foam roller will give a speckeled effect for around 5 minutes, once the paint takes, this effects dissapears as the paint film flattens out to leave a glass smooth finish. Job done.

    Use a foam sleeve with a domed end BTW Stuart, NOT a flat end, flat ended ones leaves big "paint fat" lines and you have to keep re-rolling to get them out
