Well, the damage is done. Put 12 coats of clear on the door between Sat morning and Monday afternoon. Put the 2nd and 3rd coats of Dark Bronze Hammered on today.
Didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but it's way better than it was. I'll wait for it to cure a day or two and get some pics up.
I was hoping to clear coat the door and then be able to wet sand off any brush marks, but that didn't go so well. Part of the issue is the door still has the original textured paint.
For the Hammered, the second coat went on fairly well. I could still see some roller marks, and thought maybe the third would hide those...and even considered brushing the last coat. Not sure what's up with this paint, but it's some nasty stuff. The can said wait at least 30 min to recoat, but not more than 4 hours. I waited about 2.5. Could brush or roll without it seeming to eat itself off the safe, like it was still too wet.
The 2nd coat didn't have too much issue, but the 3rd ate my roller (like the first did), throwing what looked like spider webs around in the air. The new roller was a completely different kind than the first. Almost thinking it was the paint doing something weird instead of the roller.
Gotta let the garage air out for 3-4 days...this stuff is really strong smelling. Here's teaser pic to see the color combination:
