How to paint with metallic paints?

I'm painting commercial walls with metallic paints and am getting streaking, what is the best way to apply this??How to paint with metallic paints?
Use primer 1st. If the paint is streaking it may be too thin. Have the paint department tint the primer to a color closest to the paint gray for silver, yellow for gold, etc....


Also don't use a thick roller. Most commercial painters love the thick rollers cause they work faster but they don't work well with a lot of paints. High quality rollers work great. Ralph Lauren makes a roller designed for their metallic paints. You can get one at Home Depot.
