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.
There's no way round it, you gotta get a very fine sandpaper, and sand it with that, pop in to Bretts in John St, Billy'll give you a lot of hints.............what ya doing with the red deal skirting ?
