Seriously P.O'd. Need painting advice

<< < (2/5) > >>

Chris G:
Don't think you should need to reprime it.

Knievel:

I would sand it as smooth as you can then repaint with the foam roller.

The ones I use are white, 4" long and are rounded on both ends. I buy them at a local paint shop. I've seen some similar at Home Depot but they only have one rounded end, and the quality may not be the same.

My paint guy told me they were comparable to a spray finish so I tried them and never looked back.  They are Nour brand 4" Ultra Foam roller, that might be just a Canadian brand name.

Thanks Kneivel.

I just d-checked and it now that the paint job has dried it doesn't look near as bad.  I may go over it one more time.  Do you recommend I take a 300 grit sander to it then finish her off?

DrumAnBass:
Yah foam rollers are the only way to go (other than spraying) when dealing with smooth surfaces. Hope some sanding and another coat with the foam does the trick!

dcsgguy:
It didn't.  I took another look at it and I HATE it.  Not only that, I decided to replace the old T-molding as well.

So here I am, trying to strip the paint again only this time it is 10 times as difficult.  The heat gun I had removed the original layer of paint without a problem.  Now it is being way more stubborn.  Looks I need to get a latex paint remover if there is such a thing....sigh.
