Help! First time DIY Painter

Ann
3 years ago

Help! Need your valued opinion again. Started painting our new skirting boards today. 1st coat went really well, waited 2 hours and did 2nd coat which was terrible! Finish was anything but smooth (see photos of 1st coat vs 2nd). Not sure what went wrong. Using micro-fibre rollers. Was it too much paint 2nd time round? Should I have used a brand new roller for 2nd coat (kept roller from 1st coat in a tightly sealed plastic bag)? So disappointed. Got another 12 x 5.4m lengths to go, so really want to get it right. Any advice appreciated.
