Paint Question - advice.
Richardgregory:
Thanks for all the tips folks...appreciate it :)
I saw the cab today...there are spots on the cab that have some texture on them - like an orange peel. I suspect the roller was dry when it touched the area and it lifted the paint.
I am hoping then to use a 220 grit to smooth out these bumps....there are a few if these. I hope this works. Let me know if I should do something different. I plan to start next week.

One other note (if you are curious). The reason you should not use a normal roller is because sometimes the fibers from the roller stick to the paint and dry into them. They are a pain to sand out. Foam is the way to go.

If you sand on it and your paper gums up its so not dry enough, and it will need more dry time.... I would be more concerned with the different kinds of paint (unless they are both water based) compatibility issues could rear its ugly head.... If It was mine Jennifer would go get a can of stripper, a new putty knife and just start over from the base.

Rustoleum Satin Black is my favorite paint by far! Trick is to not use too much. If too much is applied at once, it makes a nasty orange-peel like texture that must be sanded out and repainted.
On large surfaces, I prime, sand, then apply satin black with a foam roller...then use rattle cans of satin black to blend out any lap marks and imperfections. With enough curing time, it will harden and make a very durable finish.
