@John Sethian, please post a photo of the "rotisserie" you mentioned above.  I'm very interested in the "wet" application you describe, but need more info on the rotisserie, please.

Thank you.

I don't have a photo, as I usually take it apart after each paint job.    It is simply a foam block that is wedged inside the car body.  That block is glued to the end of a 1 x 2 about 16" long. I clamp the free end of the 1 x 2 in a vise, the  paint the upper facing level surface as described above (two mist coats, then a heavier wet coat). When that cures enough so the paint won't run or sag (a few hours), unclamp the 1 x 2, rotate it 90 degrees so another surface is horizotal,  and spray the gloss clear on that surface

Tank cars are a bit trickier, just be careful with the final wet coat so it does not run:
