Hi Folks,

I need to repaint my exterior white windows and doors, they are hardwood.
The current finish looks like a factory finish solvent-based paint, no brush marks and I want to try putting on another coat....problem is not leaving brush marks (which I usually do).
The maintenance label on the inside edge of window mentions using Sikkens solvent borne cetol filter 7.

The condition of wood is good, so don't think I need a primer, just undercoat and exterior satin white. Any ideas or techniques to keep brush marks at bay

attach photo of window surface, nice coat in which you can see the underlying grain of wood and no brush marks :rolleyes:
Thanks

A good quality brush, and thin the paint correctly, also don't paint outside in this hot weather
