Sergeant_Skyrim Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 JFC, I am so pissed off right now. Why the hell does my paint keep getting bubbly as all fuck? I've tried googling and all that and see the same answers, but I'm not rolling it on too fast, not repeatedly going over and over too much, none of that. I just wasted like 20 hours of sanding priming sanding priming and wetsanding on top of that. Back to square one. I'm using a foam roller and Rustoleum Ultra Cover Gloss White latex paint on top of the Zinsser (sp?) white primer latex based as well. Do I need to use and oil based everything or what? After the initial coats of sanding and priming and then first coat of wetsanding I had everything leveld out really well, no porous spots or anything like that. Just a smooth coat of primer that had been wetsanded. Then I go to put the fucking paint on and it's all bubbly as hell. I was sort of having the same problem with the primer just jesus christ it was this bad. Do I need to just pay somebody to paint all of my wood or something? And if anybody's had it done how much does it usually cost to get the front of a wall painted? Just really needed to rant, I've been working between spring classes + summer class + job these past few weeks only to have all of this time and effort be thrown out the damn window. Build in progress
SLAYER1805 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I haven't had problems with a high density foam roller
Neckbeard Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 mmmm... you are mixing brands, may not be the problem, but its not the best thing to do Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Post some pics so I can see what the bubbling looks like. I painted houses for a few years so I can probably help you but I need to see what the problem looks like. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Posted May 21, 2013 I've got the foam mini rollers (4in) from Ace Hardware. Says they're for painting smooth surfaces and best for gloss finishes. They're the cabinets and doors ones. And I haven't got a camera with me, but they're just little tiny air bubbles. Like if I blow on them right after applying they pop, but leave what looks like a really tiny crater. I don't even have any more time to work on it before work which is what's really got me pissed off. I thought I knew what I was doing after working with the primer and eventually getting that down to where it looked really smooth after wetsanding. I just really want to get this done and I'm at the point now where I've already spent more money than I'd really like to admit on this learning how to paint experience. I guess what I'm wondering now is if somewhere such as an audio shop would be able to just paint all of my stuff for me. I've never visited one before but I'd imagine that they'd do it, no?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 If you want it really smooth you should have just spray painted it your probably never going to get a smooth finish with any type of roller and latex paint. Also you don't wetsand latex paint. My best guess at your problem without seeing a pic is that your push to hard on the roller and trapping air under the paint. When you use a roller you should make sure it's always wet and use as little pressure as possible when rolling, it should just glide over the surface with little to no resistance. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
Bakerman Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Its an easy fix that I learned while trying to stain and gloss hardwood flooring. I used to have the same problem with foam rollers. When painting a box, I use an enamel paint, simply because its thicker, and heavier. Secondly, don't use a roller. I use a brush. After a few coats, you can spend time on sanding, which will smooth the brush strokes out, and then you can do the same with your clear. It will be a little labor intensive, but it will not be as much as you have already done, and it will yield amazing results. If you want the easiest way out, just spend some money and use a spray gun.
