specifically dulux quick drying satinwood

i'm not getting on with it very well, yes its nice to rinse out the
brushes with water, but i'm not getting a great finish. the second
coat goes on but it seems pretty transparent and doesnt seem to want
to adhere. maybe i am just c*** at painting, i dont know?!

Basically it's exactly the same effect as emulsion paint and looks it.
Unless you are painting a sheet of glass, you will get a crap finish.
It does not *flow* like a decent oil one.

A paint pad is about the only thing for a half decent finish IMHO
