I put my first coat of primer on the wall with a brush, but i can see the brush strike lines in i

Question

is that normal?

Answer 1

Yeah, your going to get brush strokes no matter what. Use a roller. It gives it an even texture without the brush strokes!

Answer 2

yes but you could also be using the wrong brush or if you're using home depot primer you'll see the strokes, you gotta use a soft brush and NOT home depot primer.  

Answer 3

Better use a roller, its faster. Of course if your saving up on paint a brush might take a while and the the result is not as good.  

Answer 4

It is normal, but there are ways to minimize them. The first way would be to use a roller, it is easier and wont leave brush stokes. If that isn't an option.

Most likely, you are using a brush that isn't made for the type of paint you are using.

If you are painting with acrylic paint, you'll need a synthetic bristle brush but if painting with oil, will need a natural bristle brush....

Another cause may be that you are either putting your paint on too thin or too thick...
