I believe Awk Craft 2000 can only be sprayed. It is not to be brushed or rolled on. Mine has 3 coats of Awk Craft clear gloss which helps protect the paint and the surface and is easier to buff out scratches unless they go to the primer then you are into repair and touching up with a spray repair touch up.
