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.

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?
