As others have said, oil based enamels will give better smooth
finishes. You might consider trying a black foam roller cover.
These will imitate good spray work when used properly. One of the
better brands is Whizz. Another trick is to add Floetrol or other
conditioner to the latex paint to aid in flowing out brush marks.

I have a new interior door and I have some new acrylic paint
from Lowe's. Whats the best way to paint it so that there is
a smooth finish?

I bought a fine brush, but I don't have the technique down
so that I can lay the paint smoothly. I also used a roller
that paints it evenly but doesn't leave a very smooth surface.

Thanks for your help and time,
Matt
