| Roller lint - Sanding issues (heat gun?) |

I'm on about my 5 attempt at painting my top coat of black semi-gloss now because after my second coat I noticed lint in the paintwork after it had dried. I tried to sand it back with fine paper and when that clearly wasn't getting rid of it I moved up to coarser stuff, then sanding with fine after to smooth any rough bits. Thing is, firstly, subsequent coats continuted to leave lint behind (finally realised it was the roller and not dust in the air!), but also now I can see the marks from the coarse sanding through the paint work. What's the best way out of this slightly dislikeable scenario? I'm assuming that I need to move to either a foam roller or a brush after - but how do I deal with the current lint-flecked paintwork, and will more coats eventually deal with the sanding marks I've made? |

Foam roller. and lots of fine sanding. Sorry, not what you wanted to hear, but that'll fix it. |

Sigh. If that's what it takes then that's what it takes! Thanks for the reply. |

I had no idea how much a pain in the ass painting was until I started this hobby. HATE painting, but it looks so nice when done right. Then again, laminate looks good immediately... |

It's doubly annoying cos I actually started with foam but the rollers left behind some streaks I didn't like so I looked into better ones and the linty ones advertised themselves as usable with gloss so went for them. Should've stuck with the foam ones and just worked through it! |
