TOPIC: painting

I will be painting my lil 66 winner Palamor this fall and I would love some tips on application. I know I can foam roll and tip off but I think santa is bringing me a new compressor and paint kit. I will be usig Petit Easypoxy because I like the product and it has the color my wife has picked. How should I thin out this product and i really want this sucker to be glossy as my forehead. I am a detailer so i know some ways but hopefully some of you guys have better and more innovative tips. Thank you all for your help and i will be finally putting up pics this weekend.
