Having very successfully painted a flush outside door using
Johnstone's Gloss with a short haired fleece type roller ( the
undercoat having been brushed on) I bought some Harris Mini Foam
Rollers for Gloss.

On the storm door I have just painted the undercoat on the mouldings
with a brush and did the panels and surrounds with one of the foam
rollers and have to say i was very disappointed .It has a sort of
orange peel finish,presumably to do with the surface of the foam .
I'm not keen to use these with the topcoat if this is going to be
repeated .Maybe I should get another short haired fleece roller and
use it .
Any thoughts.??

I'm not sure that gloss and undercoat behave in the same way. Can you not do
a testpiece with some gloss paint on the foam roller?
