Thanks Nick, what do you use to thin it? How much?

Test assembly of the Z axis with obligatory drill movement test (although I can rotate the screw by hand):

You have to use the exact thinner type that the company suggest,about how much you will find it on the color container. I usually start with less thinner than the amount the company suggest,then try the thinned paint on a surface with the paint roller and let it seat for about ten minutes .
If it is not transparent and the color is leveled it self,I mean you do not see marks after ten minutes,you can do your job, with the roller you might notice small bubbles in the color,it is ok those are going to disappear when the color cures
If the paint is sticky add thinner, shake well before use!
Make one thick pass and do not repaint after some minutes or hours , because the new paint will dilute the old one and you will end up with a mess....
Good luck!
