    I have spent hours on these doors. Primmed with zinnzer 123, topcoat leyland satinwood. Patchy as hell, feed up. What did I do all prep was carried out, should I have used an Undercoat? Must say I used dulux eggshell on kitchen cupboards.

    Probably not enough paint, was the both eggshell and satinwood paint oil or acrylic?

    No used satinwood on doors over zinnzer and eggshell over zinnzer on kitchen cupboards.

    How many coats of satinwood have you applied?
    Are you using a synthetic brush.

    Yes used roller and synthetic brush. Actual aesthetic is good. As in no brush marks just blooming patchy. I don't know whether to rub back wet n dry and water based gloss in the hope no more patches.

    Yeah sounds good, wet and dry it and apply another coat. Satinwood is self undercoating but requires a minimum of 2 coats as does Eggshell.

    Another thought.....load the roller well by squeezing the roller into the paint so it absorbs the paint rather than sitting on top of the roller surface.

    Watched a video on u tube, re painted with emulsion roller, great as they are flat doors no mouldings.

    I use 4" mohair rollers for that type of application laid off with a 2" Purdy Monarch brush>

    That's probably the tech I needed, hay ho I shall buy before I venture upstairs to do the rest, did you get mohair roller in screwfix?

    I had the same problem. I replaced the kitchen lights for lower wattage. Seems to have worked.

    Not Screwfix, I buy my materials from Brewers mostly and have just bought a 10 pack of Hamilton Prestige 4" short pile felt rollers they are excellent.
