There are many one-part urethane marine enamels that are likewise
self-leveling and are applied with foam rollers. Typically, hte coat of
paint is "tipped off" with a dry brush after rolling to promote leveling and
to flatten any air bubbles. Substrate and air temperature figures
significantly in the leveling action. The marine enamels aren't anywhere
near as frugal as Rustoleum but I reckon there much higher quality.

Having successfully painted whole boats with one-part urethanes, I would
definitely use it on my Vanagon.
