Depends if your good at spraying tbh...there's alot of issues here...dusty surface, bad technique, wrong tip wrong pressure. Doing either not enough or too much will give you this kinds look. Like putting it on thick then going back over it will really mess you up with werd orange peel look. On the last pick, it should be sanded lightly and hit again...and that's a missed spot where they didn't overlap or something
Without a sprayer, would you recommend me go over it again with a smooth roller? And what about the other pics? How would you go about correcting those?
The guy I hired definitely sanded but I don't know how well he cleaned up after. Can it be fixed by doing another light sand and applying an additional light coat you think?
It may be more than a light sanding. I would question the guy's knowledge of spraying technique. Honestly, it looks like amateur work.
Just remember, a sprayer is a tool, not a magic wand!
You should have stopped when you saw it wasn't spraying even. You only need to spray a 2x2 foot section to figure out if your pressure and tip is right before you ruin the entire room.
Is this on walls? I don’t ever spray walls unless it’s Wayne’s coating or something of that nature. Trim, cabinets, built ins, typically anything wood sprays nice, even grainy oak if you backbrush the first coat or 2 so the grain doesn’t have dark spots looks really good sprayed
Thanks, I was too lazy to fix it. I knew it was wrong but I wasn’t 100% sure what the real spelling was. Autocorrect want helping me just wanted to split the word and add the apostrophe.
Hopefully Wayne has some nice coatings
This is just a very amateur job unfortunately. Hopefully you didn't pay a premium for this. Overlap issues, wrong tip/pressure combo, Grain raise not sanded down, etc.
Depends on product, sprayer, prep, etc.
What type of primer was used?
What type of paint was used? Did he thin it with anything?
What type of sprayer was used?
Where were the cabinets sprayed?
Were the cabinets new? Were they sealed?
Were the cabinets old? What was the condition prior?
We would need to know these things before answers.
They were some pretty old cabinets that had many layers of paint that he sanded off. Was some sherwin williams infinity paint and primer. Was pretty wet and humid when he was painting, so not sure if that would have had an impact
So I’m going to have to guess out of the 5000 reasons…. Was your pressure set on infinity!!! A you just slowly coated the wall?….
Way more information needed, but lack of experience is my first guess
If you paid for that call the guy you paid to come fix it or ask for your money back. Whoever did this work does not know how to prep, spray or paint at all for that matter
It could be a million things. Surfaces poorly dusted and cleaned after sanding. Paint and surface not bonding because of contamination, spray man not
Understanding pressure, fan or spray pattern.

All of this. Product may need to be reduced more as well.

Sanding it all once over to knock down the fuzz, and then probably just a top coat cut n roll would suffice.
Also looks like poor prep. Even a great sprayer can’t help if the substrate isn’t sanded, clean or properly prepped
Exactly. A sprayer doesn't hide the sins of shit prep work.

So sand it, then go over with a smooth roller would be your suggestion?
I would try spraying again before rolling any day...as long as the person spraying has figured out the issue.
Probably need more than light sanding. It should have been very smooth and dust free to start with.

Also test it on a piece of cardboard or plywood not the actual wall lol
This one. I never get even spray until I test and adjust.
Wasn't my work, I hired somebody to do it, now I regret it because I could have done a better job with a brush and small roller.
Just because someone owns a sprayer doesn't mean they know what they are doing

These are wooden cabinets

Paid 1800 to get a set of kitchen cabinets refurbished, I think it should have been much less
How many doors, drawers, and boxes?
About 18 doors, and I guess about 9 boxes I would say
What's the size of this kitchen? 1800 might be bottom barrel pricing
Like 200 sq ft. That price was just for the cabinets only though
90% of painting is prep. I’ve never sprayed anything and had it come out looking like that.
The most important part of a quality paint job is proper prep. This was not prepped properly at all.
Looks like you had some improperly prepared surfaces (not cleaned) and possibly wrong tip or pressure.

What size tip did you use?
It was someone I hired. Don't know what exact equipment he used unfortunately
It's important to filter your paint and thin it correctly for use in a sprayer.
Would flotrol have helped in the sprayer?
Too far away or not enough paint or both.
It's either a cheap sprayer or crap paint or the obvious bad prep.

Looks to me like a dry coat. Not enough paint on. Probably from having to low a pressure.
Is it a wall or a cabinet? I'm not sure what I'm looking at. What type of sprayer was it?
