    Default Control Panel Painting HELP! SHould I do an OVERLAY??

    Well, I am finished with the building of my control panel, actually its been done for several weeks just kinda have not painted it yet.

    Well, anyway. I put on two nice coats of Kilz primer and bought this nice Enamel paint from Sherman Williams. I put on 4 coats of paint. I let the paint dry at least 4 hours like the guy said before I did a re-coat.

    Well I was only going to do 4 coats, but I can still see the roller marks on the stupid thing. And to boot, the surface is kinda rough. I am also painting a small test piece just to mess with. I took some light sand paper and sanded the 2nd coat on the test one and then painted a coat on top and its kinda smoother. But the paint color is not as nice.

    I wanted to go with the spiderman red color since it matches the cab. Would a different color work better, with no marks?

    What should I do?

    I am thinking about going with an overlay. I really want this thing up and running, but I DONT want a crappy paint job and then next summer take it all apart and put on an overlay.
