Hi all

I have painted two doors with Dulux Exterior Gloss and the finish is
terrible. Loads of little specks of undercoat showing through in a sort of
orange peel effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like contamination - has something been sprayed on or near the doors
after the undercoat was applied (e.g. silicone spray?). Or maybe the
contaminant was underneath the undercoat and the orange peel was less
noticeable with the undercoat?

I reckon so too. The quickest solution is just to keep painting
though: one or two extra coats normally covers such problems ok. In
future if the surface has muck or grease on it, clean it first,
preferably with sugar soap.
