you're not fucked. the amazing part about this paint is that you can sand it down and try again, at the max you'll lose like $10 and a couple of hours of labor.

it's really inexpensive and theres great results - you just have to put in the labor to make it look good.

if thats really rolled on, then you didnt thin the paint out enough. you need to thin it out enough that the paint will self level.

I didnt this a few weeks ago to my Jeep. good results.

yes you are
you use a high density foam roller and rustoleum paint
thin it out so it self levels and roll on 2 coats then sand
2 coats and sand 2 coats and sand
then finish with 1000-1500 grit sand paper and a polishing compound
