Problems with satinwood

I'm decorating and on the woodwork at the mo. have done architrave and skirting with the satinwood, all good

Same tin of paint just doesn't like the door!? It's a moulded panel door bought already white. I don't remember if I have previously painted it. I have washed it, sanded, etc etc but the paint goes on then quickly goes like 'fishnet stocking' appearance?

Any ideas of what to do please

    Did you prime it first ? Sounds like it may be reacting with the original finish on the door (or some strange paint you previously used). Sand back harder and prime first.

    If I had painted it before it would have been another satinwood. I had a feeling that was going to be the answer LOL but thanks

    You need to undercoat it as opposed to just priming it. A quick drying acrylic undercoat will be fine.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
