Hi,
I have just finished painting my fascias, and some rafters which come through the wall and are exposed behind the fascias. I sanded, then painted over the old paint with Dulux trade quick dry primer undercoat 2 in 1. Then I applied 1 coat of Dulux weathershield quick dry gloss, in black (don't know why I used quick dry, on reflection!).
It looks poor and definitely needs another coat, but I knew it would. 2 Qs-
1. I will have left about 18 hours between coats of the gloss. Bearing in mind it's quick drying paint, will I need to sand it again to make a key? (I'm hoping not- it's a lot of wood, and in awkward places).
2. Looking at the shiny finish, I think I'd prefer to do the second coat with Dulux Weathershield satin. Is this a bad idea? And if not, would giving the gloss a light sand to create a key be all I'd need to do? (or could I get away without sanding again since the gloss is so new?).
Thanks in advance for your help.
