Hi All,
I am painting a (cheap) prehung primed door I bought from Home Depot with a semigloss paint. I used Behr at first that I had leftover from another project. It had a tiny bit of Floetrol in it to allow me a little more work time. The gloss was blotchy and uneven.
So then I tried some Valspar paint (no Floetrol) but the color wasn't quite right.
So, my final try was Glidden (no Floetrol again). I lightly sanded before painting. The color is perfect but the sheen is still uneven and it looks like the underlying paint is raising up and making it look really grainy.
Should I strip this mess off with a chemical stripper and start over? I admit I am a dumbshit when it comes to painting so I really would like to know what to do about this. Any help appreciated.
TIA, James
