There is not much to it. Tape up what you do not want paint to get on. Scuff the surface up pretty good. Clean the car off of all debris and start applying light coats.

The 4" roller they're talking about only has about a 1.5" diameter. It will also compress some. With the amount of thinning they recommend, I don't think you'll have any issues with the tight spots.
