I hate to be a skeptic but isn’t this outdated paint and a bit heavy going on with a roller?

Just "White"!  I think it's #3175 in the Pettit line.

I picked the whitest of the whites.

Very nice. What specific color number did you use? There seem to be dozens of shades of white to choose from; I like this one. Also, am I correct in assuming that you painted the ailerons & rudders separately and the picture was taken after they were reattached?

And a couple of more examples of my plane's finish.

Yes indeed Art, and the previous mentioned Pettit and West Marine's own SeaGloss are two of them.?? Also,?? Bob, using these paints, and the rolling and tipping process mentioned, my finish IS equal to spray jobs done by my local aircraft painting people at the Canandaigua Airport.?? They have admired the job I did on my plane using West Marine's SeaGloss and rolling it on.

If I am not mistaken, there are paints, including 2K urethane that are formulated for this process which tend to flow out more appropriately. Temperature of application is critical in that hot temps tend to "dry" the paint quicker and give you less time to adequately tip.
