I didn't want to hijack the other thread re problems with w/b satin, so started a new one.
I'm trying to paint a flush door. I got Johnstone's w/b primer and satin.
The primer was looking good - nice and even with hardly any brush marks.
I rubbed it down in preparation for the satin - and then it all went wrong.
It looks horrendous.
I seem to have a band across the middle of the door. Maybe I've put the paint on there too thick
I damped the brush (synthetic brush) and damped the door down before painting.
I went across the grain, then laid it off going up the way.
The top was starting to dry by the time I was getting down to the bottom so I don't know if this has caused my problem.
I'm going to have to go over it again but how far back do I need to abrade it? Will the patchy bits show through a second coat? Will I need to rub it right back and start again?
Where the heck am I going wrong? Do you paint the whole door before laying off or do it in halves (top then bottom)?
I'm wishing I'd just bought a new door!!!
