I got some Behr high-gloss latex enamel with which to paint some trim.

Using a Peavy brush, roller, or foam applicator all yield god-awful
results. Specifically, in the case of the two brushes, the paint
looks like it was applied with a fork. Using a roller, the result
looks like an alligator hide.

The application was on top of a Behr primer.

Any ideas on how to use this paint to yield an acceptable finish?

Thanks.

Failing expert advice, I'm gonna take a bit of trim with the
aforementioned application techniques back to the paint store and
accuse them of selling an anti-barnacle, boat-bottom treatment
instead of paint.

So, I returned to HD and asked for a quart of oil-based, high-gloss enamel.

"We don't have 'high-gloss' enamel," they said.

"I'll take semi-gloss," I countered.

"It only comes in gallons," they parried.
