I used the roller that came with it, it's a special one of some sorts.

Roller didn't work too well for me. I ended up doing it all with a brush. Nearly passing out with the fumes, and had a rotten headache for days.

I used the brush off a dustpan & brush set. The shape and longer handle stopped me getting blue hands!

done it witha fence brush on first coat and small roller on 2nd coat. To get even application would be very hard i reckon but done my best.

painted at right angle on 2nd coat from the 1st coat.

wore small 3M mask  and had side and back doors open.

job done and seems ok

foam roller or soft wooly type
brushed edges, then used a honeycomb type roller that was supplied, used the gloves also supplied in a kit (they are way to thin) dipped roller straight in paint in as it was far quicker. was happy with the finished look.
