I believe that’s why I saw in my daughters new home, they sprayed them, prior to installation.. I would lightly sand them, and use a small roller or a sponge brush instead of a paint brush.. Gois luck..Helpful Reply -

I agree with Lisa. It's not the paint but the technique. Lightly sand to smooth them out. Definitely use a foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.Helpful Reply -

Penetrol is a product which can be added to oil based paint in order to make the paint somewhat self leveling. It might be possible to lightly sand the existing paint and then top coat with Penetrol treated paint to achieve a smooth coat.Helpful Reply -
