Can someone recommend a paint additive please?

Hi All,

I'm using Leyland Trade Multi-Surface Paint (acrylic) for all my doors, trims, etc. but I'm not particularly happy with the finish I'm getting with a brush. I've seen on YouTube people using Floetrol but I need to order and wait for it until next week whereas I'd rather pick something up from Screwfix or Toolstation tomorrow if possible. Can someone please recommend an alternative paint additive please?

Cheers
Daz

Stop using a brush..
Use Uni-Pro High Tech Micro-Fibre 6.5" 4mm Nap and buy the yellow matching handles.

Even better if you remove door and lay down as no runs..
You can fix legs on ends and flip door and paint door both sides straight away.
You probably aren't getting the paint on thick enough. You need a good thick coat so it settles Vs thin brushing out and patchy.
5 mins per door per side so no skinning of the paint.
I've always said. If you get a paint run on door when hung, then you are just over where you should be with thickness.

I tried with a mini roller too. The paint starts to dry so quickly even though the bathroom isn't even warm! I'm using the Fortress Trade Short Pile gloss roller sleeve (woven microfibre).
