Oil-based Enamel Is "too" Glossy

Question

Hi guys, a quick question.

I'm doing a job where the homeowner wanted high gloss white on some header support poles. The problem is, the posts were made out of pine wood, and after the first coat, every imperfection of the wood shows up.

Is there a way to take the gloss out of gloss paint? The homeowner is a good friend of mine, and we're willing to experiment here. I'm talking even like venetian plaster sand or something but I don't think I want to go that far.

The answer to your question is to repaint with a different sheen

The answer to the problem is to properly prep (fix/sand/fill) the posts

The labor and materials cost is the same whether you coat it with any "sheen change stuff", or try and hide the problem with any "sand paint", neither of which will "hide" much
