I decided to spray prime the hard to reach places and roll the big ones. Sand then paint.
I found today that if I tried to do corners that is what makes the roller fall apart. Still the issue of the rough surface.
I am using Killz oil based primer with black pigment and rustolium dark grey auto primer. So far the 2 seem to be working well together. oil and oil.

hmmm, i cant remember the price of mine but it was more likely more than that for ONE! i think you may have scrimped on the wrong thing  ;)

MYX:

I didn't see any other choices. This was the only foam brush with (super smooth) actually listed. They had softer ones but they were listed medium texture n stuff like that.

Fozzy The Bear:

I think the thing you actually needed to buy was what they sell as a "Glossing Roller" They're made from a chemically resistant foam. Other rollers will break up when they get some of the more vicious oil based paints on them.

AtomSmasher:

It looks like you just got cheap rollers, but even with nice rollers you still want to sand between every coat.

MYX:

I got the best ones that HD had. They were listed as latex or oil. Where should I go to get lab grade industrial strength gourmet elitist rollers?

When you guys rolled your primer was it smooth before or after you sanded. Was it rough before you sanded?
