I've had plenty of days like that, bud....i feel your frustration, and i'm glad that you will still carry on with it! About the paint; did you sand your primer coat before the red?...which primer did you use?...it may not be a heavy coat. I use their rattle cans, and find that it levels itself out. it looks textured when it first goes on for me, but then smooths-out as it dries.
