I thinned it a very little and then I tried to spray it in the old style siphon feed gun. The first pull of the trigger and I new it wasnt going to work. I had to hold the gun like 5 inches away with a 3 inch spray pattern. It took me forever to cover the whole roof, lol. Im getting ready to order a 2.5 gun off ebay for next time.
I wouldn't ever say that. Even with the right size tip, it's still a slow go. The pattern is small and you still have to slow down. At least that's been my experience. Looks like a nice job.

If you have a local paint supplier see if they can put it on the shaker for ya. Maybe Home depot might even do it, not sure.
