Tips for rolling & tipping
Whichever style you adopt, get into a rhythm and keep moving or the paint will dry and the brush will drag. If you run out of paint part-way down one side and stop to get more paint, you’ll get an ugly ridge at the point where you stopped and started up again. Don’t get discourage if the first coat is spotty or sags.

what is the proper way to roll and tip? how many coats do you need on a hull? do your brush strokes still show up?

You roll the paint the lightly tip the bubbles with a soft paint brush. It depends on the leveling qualities of the paint whether it will show brush strokes. Humidity and temperature influence the results too.

The paint needs to be thinned appropriately, experiment to see what is ideal. Probably like PAR's prom date who needed a drink or two for best results.

Gonzo mentioned a soft paint brush I will add my preference to that, "a soft expensive natural hair paint brush". Be sure to give it a good hand wacking (Paul's fallback position on the " Oh My God"s) to knock out loose hair and possibly a little vacuuming might also help. Nothing too aggressive.

A friend of mine showed me a good way of getting stray hairs. Tap the brush on masking tape and most of the loose hairs come off.
