All due to your tip on using Flowtrol. I used it this past weekend and painted a nightstand for my husband's side of the bed. NO STROKE MARKS! And it looks fabulous, dahlink! Thank you for the tip. Now I am going to move to a large, victorian style dresser and have a couple of further questions. Did you sand between coats on this white buffet? If yes, what grit did you use, and did you sand the final coat. Thanks for the tips, I am thoroughly enjoying your adventures! I FINALLY have the confidence to paint furniture!

Im nervous because it is one of my first few projects and looks like a LOT of work. Your tutorials make it seem very 'do-able' but I am wondering - did you not sand this particular piece? The piece I have is very high gloss - which it sounds like yours was as well. So just primer it twice with oil based and then paint it with a coat or 2???
