Help! re removing brush marks on front door

Hi
Have painted front door with exterior gloss paint (Dark green),doing all the right prep beforehand.
I was trying to be so careful and not have any runs that i have obviously over brushed it in parts and it looks awful.
Not sure what to do, can i give it a fine sand and repaint it (have now been and bought a gloss roller) or will i have to strip paint off altogether.
Sorry i am a real novice.
TIA

Without actually seeing it, all I can suggest is give it a rub down until you achieve and acceptable (to you) smooth finish, then repaint using a gloss roller. You won't have to remove all the paint.
Be aware you still need to be careful using a roller as you can be left with lines at either side of the line you have rolled IYSWIM! So just be sure to blend each stroke in with the last one

Many thanks for your reply.
How long do you think i should leave it before sanding ?
It's now been over 48hrs but i don't want to make it look worse by sanding to soon.

If there's no rush, I would leave it 3 or 4 days, maybe even until the weekend. If you have laid it on thick then it can take a good while to dry right through.
