Benjamin Moore Rock River OD paint Brush or Spray??

[joediveguy]

Okay, so after searching posts and after deciding on the BM RR paint, I am ready to paint. I have a tailgate that I have prepped and started to paint. The bed side I primed and brushed on bed liner. Then I brushed on a couple coats of the RR paint. It looks ok, but it has brush marks, no big deal as it is on the inside and is textured because of the bed liner.

Will those brush marks blend in or should I have used a spray gun.

I have a gravity fed HPLV spray gun but was told by the BM rep that the paint was too thick and would need to be thinned for it to shoot through the gun.

I like the brush because I can get it on thicker, however, the spray gun would seem easier to apply and would be more uniform.

For those that have done it, what are your thoughts, Brush / Roller VS Spray Gun?

spray gun will look the best of the 3 and is the easiest in my opinion, but any would be "correct" in terms of a military paint job.

Your monitor will probably lie to you about the tint but here's the mfr link:

If you're near a BM dealer they should have the chip: 2139-10, I think.

I used it as a formula jump off for making 24087 but it was the wrong pigments. Nice color though.
