I was/am having the same problem refurbishing my star wars yoke. The wrinkling can be due to moisture and or not shaking your can of paint enough (solvent can seperate from the pigment). If you want it smooth ya got ta sand sand sand! |

Ok so I just put another coat on and it looks frigging cool! It's somehow made this cool texture that looks like little pencils have squiggled through it all over. A very neat deal. I'll post a pic when it dries (if it stays like that.) |

I had accidently over shot my roll when painting my speaker shelf/grating thingie for my cabinet and got some sand on the roller... which I then accidently rolled on to the wood... After letting out a $#%^@ I got my tai chi together and added some more sand and rolled the heck out of it until it was evenly disbursed for a "real" texture... Nobody really fondles that part of the cabinet, so I doubt anyone notices --> but it did come out kinda cool for a mistake... if I was doing some sort of weird faux finish for a house type project I'd consider trying it intentionally -> trading spaces style. =P rampy |
