Hi all I've decided to revamp a few pieces of furniture lying around to be used in other rooms.

My first project was a pine single bed for my son, I sanded it down, then washed it down and let it dry, applied a coat of undercoat to the bed then finished it with three coats of satinwood paint in french white, but the surface is not totally smooth. I used a gloss roller head to put on the satinwood. Would spraying give a better finish.

Its just that I've got a lovely unit that I want to paint french white for my sitting room and we're also getting rid of our red deal skirting and door and repainting them too. I want to get a perfect finish.

All help and tips appreciated.
