Seriously P.O'd. Need painting advice

You are right and wrong. You are definitely right on me being impatient. If I would have waited a full 24 hours I wouldn't have jumped the gun. However, the one side did come out pretty bad and was rough so that was the only side I sanded down. it's weird that the other two looked decent.
ChadTower:
It's common for 24 hours to not be even close to a full cure time, if that helps. It's a good recoat time, yes, but curing is longer than that.
FooMonk:
I'm right there with you all on the cure time. I'm spraying latex paint and added some Floetrol to thin it out. MAN, that stuff takes a long time to cure. I waited a full week before sanding, and it still wasn't ready to sand. I'm sure the additive had something to do with it, but still...
michelevit:
i had similar problems to what you are describiing.
what i do now is just put the brush and rollers aside
and use a spray gun.
i have a cheapo china made auto paint gun from
harbor freight ($20) and spray thinned down
rustoleum oil based paint.
it is much easier than working with rollers and brushes
and the paint lays down really nicely. i already had
an air compressor so all i needed to purchase
was the gun.
try spraying the paint on- you'll be much happier with
the results.

How can you tell when the paint is ready to be sanded? I know I took a 300 fine block of sand paper to the good side and it appeared to bubble a bit so I stopped.
