I am rolling on some oil-based paint on my sanded down DK. I am at five coats, and as I suspected after the first two, the finish isn't really getting any smoother. I'm not talking about a little roughness from the rolling process, I'm worried about the wood grain. I think I didn't do sufficient surface prep work before I started.
What is a good prep plan before rolling? I sanded off the old paint and it all felt nice and smooth. It clearly was not. I wondered if I was making a mistake by not sanding with finer grit paper a few times. Or should I be rubbing in some sort of wood filler or some other product before painting? I am ready and willing to sand all of this back off and start over. I want it to look as good as possible and I'm doing this to learn from my mistakes!
Any help is appreciated.
