∙ 7y agoYour surface has to be very smooth to begin with. If you want an even paint job, use the roller type that matches your painting surface. Paint in "W" patterns and that should do it. There are good YouTube directions for smooth surfaces, like cabinets. In a nutshell, you use a 9" roller to put a light coat on the surface. Then, use a small, 4" thin roller, to go over the surface, which will flatten out the pattern from the larger roller.

What is high build paint?
A high build paint can be sprayed thicker without running or sagging. This is important when you are trying to get better hiding properties. We use a high build paint for our contractor grade paint on new construction houses. From a Glidden web site I saw that their high build paint could be sprayed up to 20 mils thick, whereas from a Diamond-Vogel web site I saw that their non-high build paint could only be sprayed to a thickness of 4 or 5 mils. Using a high build paint also helps when you are not using a primer because the drywall paper and drywall compound could prematurely suck out the water out of a thinner coat of paint causing the paint to crack or cure improperly.

Textural differences between drywall and taped joint can lead to?
The paper on the drywall is fibrous. The compound used on the tape joints and finished holes is granular. When paint is applied, the paper fibers raise up, while the compounded areas remain smooth. Untreated, this leads to a sometimes significant visual and textural difference in the two. To avoid this, it is necessary to lightly sand between paint coats. This will knock down the raised grain in the paper and make the entire surface more consistent.
