I've read posts about spraying or rolling 2-3 ultra-thin coats of paints to maintain transparency, but these descriptions sound like the diy'er ready to attempt this technique is S.O.L. if it isn't 110% perfect.
Has anyone tried a self-leveling laquer or varnish that, when mixed with silvery or pearly or colored paint, allows for a sloppy application that will have everything evenly distributed and won't allow roller/brush marks? This could also be one coat, as well.
Imagine:
Get (or make) yourself a big mirror. Mix up some of that laquer with some Mmud. Slop it on. Let the surface flatten itself out and dry. Enjoy*.
No worrying about the right pressure on your sprayer, worrying if you got enough on that spot, but not too much, but if not enough did it dry too much in these past 15 seconds to work with, did i press too hard with the roller, not hard enough, etc.
(* In DIY parlance that means, tweak it, repaint it, rebuild it, take a picture, tweak it some more, repaint, watch half of a movie, take another picture, re-tweak....)
