Hi everyone,
I have joined this forum to ask for some advice!
I'm renovating my house and have just stripped the upstairs door frames/skirtings/window sills of years and years of old (badly painted) gloss paint.
I've decided to go for a satin finish when re-painted, and have now rubbed down and under-coated all the woodwork ready for top coating. However, this is where my problems are arising........ I have painted a window sill and noticed that when dried it looks awful- full of brush strokes and generally looks rubbish.
Think I am more gutted about all the hard work that went into the 'pre-painting prep' to end up with such a crap finish. I sanded with superfine paper between undercoating and the satin- where am I going wrong?
Btw: The paint I'm using is a water based satin.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on how I can get a better finish? - any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
