Hi Pete
I have previously use the hempel on a hood i restored. Found it was a good paint and pompeis boat yard certainly recommends it.
I used a roller only. Used only foam rollers. Mine was a 100mm foam roller. The fur type leave too many pieces behind. Get yourself a packet of rollers (they are rather cheap) and make sure you change the roller as soon as you see signs that the foam is breaking off. I was using 2-3 rollers per coat.
The first coats were pretty thick as I just thinned them as per the directions. I found that by making each coat thinner, it got a better finish. The last coat I thinned to a point that I got probably 4 times the coverage as I did on the first coat.
I found that seemed to work nicely.
