Seriously P.O'd. Need painting advice
leapinlew:
I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures...
It seems to me that you might want to wait till the morning. See if bi-polar kicks in - it may look great tomorrow. ;D
dcsgguy:
I tried taking some but the light isn't good. I'll post some tomorrow. I've already begun stripping the one side that was real bad. The other two aren't horrible. Mayble I'll just repaint the one side :(

Smooth mini foam roller:

I think the problem here is as much impatience as anything else. Yesterday at 6pm you're saying it dried... then yesterday at 9pm you're already stripping it. There's NO WAY it cured in three hours and you're just uncuring it with the heat gun and making a goopy mess.
Painting takes time, sometimes a couple weeks, to really get the optimal finish. You just have to accept that.

I'll second this. I'm about a month in to painting my cabinet and I still have about 2-3 weeks left before I'm totally finished with the paint job (I'm putting on an insane high gloss automotive finish). Still, to do it right I'd guess about 3 weeks total to fully paint a cab sounds about right assuming you sand between coats and wait 2-3 days for the paint to fully cure. Other than setting up the computer, it's my least favorite part of building these things.
