I used cans of semi-gloss oil based spray paint to spray the finish coat on a book case. The surface was very smooth before I sprayed. But the sprayed surface was very rough after spraying. Seem like spray paint droplets might have combined together in mid air before landing on the surface. I used 400 grit sand paper to easily sand out the rough surface. Now the surface is flat instead of semi gloss after the sanding. My questions a 1. How should I prevent this problem from happening again? 2. How should I put back the shine on the surface to something like semi gloss? 3. How should I put a protective coating on the "flat" surface to allow me to clean the surface easily? Thanks in advance for any info. Jay Chan Sounds like you may have put the coat on too thin/dry.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You are probably right. But the paint is coming from a can; I assume the manufacturer should have formulate the paint just right. Actually, I have used spray paint from cans many times before, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. Does this have to do with spraying too close from the surface? Does this have to do with the fact that I sprayed into the inside space of the book case where the space is enclosed in five sides and the paint droplets might have bounced back and collided with each other and formed big droplets? And what should I do to put the shine back onto the surface that has been sanded to a "flat" finish? Any idea? Thanks. Jay Chan Clear coating with a wipe on poly should do the trick- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - This sounds promising. I have a can of wipe-on-poly left over from a dinner table project. I will try it on an area of the book case that no one sees, and I will find out if I like the effect. Thanks. Jay Chan |
