How to paint a Hume door?

Recently fitted brand new Hume door. Primed with 4 in 1 sealer from British Paints as reccomended.Two coats of white full gloas paint applied (water based). The paint will not blend at all no matter how carefully I paint.

Have never had an issue like this before. Any suggestions to fix this?

Afternoon @DaniM1

Bugger! and yeah I can remember painting walls that kind of looked like that at first. And just remembered my laminate bookcase looked like that with the first coat of undercoat.

How many coats does that door have of your paint? If its only one I would suggest another coat over the top. (maybe 2 coats even)

Has the paint bubbled at all? or is it smooth to touch when dry?

Id also like to extend a hello and welcome to the Bunnings Community page 🙂 Someone will know the answer to any of your questions and you will one day hopefully answer someone with the same problem you had years before!

Hello @DaniM1

I'm surprised that the door did not get covered properly. The British Paints White 4 In 1 Prep Water Based Primer Sealer Undercoat should have sealed your door properly and putting on 2 coats of gloss paint should have technically finished the job.

Did you just pick up the can from the shelf or did you bring it to the paint counter? Can you please take a photo of the can of gloss paint you used on the door. I just need to see details of the front of the can, once I have that information, I'll be able to assess the can of paint. I can then provide recommendations on how to proceed.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let me know.
