Hi all,
So I’ve routed an ogee profile for my own MDF skirting.
I’ve used 2 coats of Leyland acrylic undercoat and primer and then 2 coats of brilliant white quick dry water based gloss. I used a gloss roller for undercoat and gloss.
I lightly sanded the end/open edges after each coat, and it’s not too bad.
However, the faces look a little mottled. (See pics)
I previously painted a test piece but used a brush instead (which was against all advice I’d read). It looks better, and shinier, but I also (wrongly) lightly sanded the face which brought up the fibres so it was discarded.
Need advice on achieving the best finish.
Please do not suggest oil based gloss as it ain’t happening. I don’t have time to wait a day between coats.
I’m sure there is a way to achieve a nice smooth glossy finish with the products I’ve got, just need some help.
thanks
