Sorry in advance if this has been done to death.....
We decided it was time to paint the front door. In good nick, just a change of colour.
The wife decided on the colour red, So i went and bought Sandtex "Pillar box red" gloss. With the recomended Sandtex grey primer/undercoat.
Rubbed down the door, primed/undercoated, waited overnight.
Next morning, Applied the Red gloss. undercoat flashing through.
waited overnight, light rub with fine paper to de-nib, applied 2nd coat of gloss.
Undercoat still coming through!!
I've done a fair bit of glossing indoors (albeit with white dulux trade) and never had a problem.
Am I doing something wrong?? How many coats do they want me to apply? 3-4-5?
Are there makes of gloss with better coverage?
Would the coverage be any better with satin? Its the colour that the wife wants, the sheen is not so important.
Many thanks.
