They rolled it on with a foam roller....and right behind the guy with the roller was a guy with a "animal hair" paint brush and he was brushing the paint smooth. They let that dry and fine sanded and repeated the process. The repeated it 3 times and ended with a pretty damn good product. I'm sure its more difficult than on TV but it seemed to be easier and less messy than spraying.

Can any guys chime in on this method? heard of it? good/bad?

later guys

That process is commonly referred to as "rolling and tipping"...google it up...should be plenty of info out there on it...I've never done it, but probably would if I's gonna repaint...leaves a great finish and like you said about the spraying when yer not set up for it...
