Ultimately skipping steps and using cheaper material will likely add both time and expense to a project. Also, the hardest thing about painting is trying to correct issues after they've happened due to lack of prep work. Sure, sanding might as an extra hour, BUT it will really save you time when you are displeased with how it came out. Now you spend hours, if not days, debating on what to do and are left taking corrective actions. I'm no expert painter, but buying quality materials and doing extra prep have always left me satisfied. Good luck, it's all looking great!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831166002259688240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302479631045238421.post-15099880160799140192014-11-29T18:27:33.932-08:002014-11-29T18:27:33.932-08:00Thanks for the tips James!

But all that sanding sounds like a ton of work! I probably should have gone with SW, as I hear they are more like consultants rather than Lowe's who are slinging paint.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664749821261587010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302479631045238421.post-13751333984932283652014-11-29T12:25:42.642-08:002014-11-29T12:25:42.642-08:00Here's why you are having an issue with the pa...Here's why you are having an issue with the paint. You can't just doing coat after coat and hope for success and coverage. You should have primed and saved yourself a ton of trouble. Then the bumpy texture you are getting is from a lack of sanding. Also you should not have airflow moving over the paint. Here's the steps I would take:<br />1: Lightly sand surface until smooth and all bumps and boogers are gone. <br />2. Prime with Sherwin Williams Premium Wood and Wall Primer. Again lightly sand until smooth. Very lightly. Apply a second coat if need be. <br />3. Use a quality trim paint if painting wood such as SW ProClassic. If you are rolling, use a small nap so you don't get stippling, or brush it on.
