Forum List Household Repair Paint Rolling Advice Needed (Sati

terraform
12 years ago

hello,

I need a little help.

I had some shelves made for my new desktop / bookcase.

they came to me well primed and ready to paint.

I am using a Behr Satin paint.

I have successfully painted all of the shelves and the smaller desktop to my liking.

But the larger 5'x3' desktop I can not get to look "even" to save my life.

I have put on 7+ coats at this point trying a variety of "rolling techniques"

but always there is a "trouble spot" and never in the same place.

once the last coat dries I see that an area looks un-even or you can see the roll lines

So I will paint it again, that area will look fine but another area will have a similar issue.

I could blame the paint or the roller but they worked on the other shelves just fine.

I have tried both the 'pink" rollers and the "white foam" roller types.

I started with the pink, and then the white but the white actually looked worse so then I went back to the pink.

Does anyone have any advice?

I have posted photos of the pic issue here

thanks in advance.
