Hello,
I am repainting a door with Behr Premium Plus Semi Gloss latex enamel. The door was originally painted with semigloss latex but I primed it with Kilz 2 latex anyway. There were probably at least two layers of existing paint.
When the paint dried it looked awful, in my opinion. There were areas that were glossy and others that were somewhat flat-looking. Brush marks were prominent even tho I used a good quality synthetic brush. I even tried a second coat to no avail. The paint was mixed thoroughly.
I did paint another door that had only one layer of existing paint using the same primer, paint, and brush, and it looks great.
I would appreciate any advice on what I could do differently, including stripping the old paint if that sounds necessary. This paint is too expensive to be wasting it on trial-and-error.
TIA, James
