i do 2 coats of chalk paint and there are no brush strokes. Then wax it. A spray gun is a pain to clean but it will give a smooth finish.
Have you sprayed large things before, as I think it is an art. Maybe if you take it slower and use a lighter touch, you may have more success with a brush or roller...........They also make sponge type brushes and there is also a roller system, where the paint goes into the roller and is sold on T.V they looks good.
Best method I used to get rid of brush strokes is to apply the final coat with a roller. The great thing is that there are medium-sized, small, and miniature rollers available that can fit into and around small spaces!
Spray guns are great, but they need a lot of practice and a very fine tip for a smooth surface. You also need a compressor for the gun. Consider investing in better brushes, add a paint extender and make sure you are using a good latex. Don't continue to "work" the paint back and forth. Exposed to air paint starts to set up, hence stroke marks. By adding the extender the paint will have time to lay down. Good luck.
spray guns can be messy, and you need an aditive to make the paint flow smoothly. my mom wanted to barrow mine..then loaned it a friend of hers . never got it back. "something was wrong with the spray part" ya you didnt clean it.
Hello - it is just a mini roller I got at Home Depot. They sell them all over.
Practice on something else first because there is a knack to it.
